VMFA Instructor, Dawn Flores

18 yr & up

Study the art of portraiture through the work and photographs of Frida Kahlo.  Students will work in pastels as they hone their understanding of drawing portraits by working from photographs of the Mexican artist and/or her work.  A slide presentation on the VMFA’s exhibition Frida: Beyond the Myth will be presented as part of the workshop. All materials are provided and class is open to all skill levels. This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is supported, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
