Immerse yourself in the captivating world of portraiture through a workshop with Josefina Palma-Izcue and RU artist Gabriele Grones, designed to enhance your artistic skills and expand your creative horizons. This engaging program aims to delve into the realm of realistic drawing, enabling participants to develop a deeper understanding of shape perception and break free from mental stereotypes. In addition, the artists seamlessly integrate the art of photography into the workshop, offering a unique perspective and enriching the overall experience.
Participants will be drawing during the workshop, and materials (pencils, rubbers, paper sheets and clipboards) will be provided.
This workshop is part of the 2023 Voices of Multiplicity (VoM) Artist Residency Program led by the RU guest curator Ayelet Danielle Aldouby with co-creators and artists Kelly Huang, Niambi A. Murray, Andrea Orellana and Xavier Robles-Armas. From May through October, the team will work from the KODA/RU house on Governors Island where they will implement monthly artistic workshops which are accessible and free for all.
