Make your own self portrait

April 27, 2020

Learn how to stage self-portraits at home and how artists have long used self-portraits as various forms of self-expression. Think about how you want to be portrayed and gather materials and items that you want to photograph to represent yourself. This does not need to be an image of your face – you can get creative! 

This is an all-ages activity, but best for ages 8 and up.
