This class will help expand and reinvigorate your approach to portraiture. Using such artists as Emmet Gowin, Francesca Woodman, Harry Callahan, and Joyce Tenneson as inspiration, students will explore treatment of subject and composition. Instruction includes discussion, demonstrations and both individual and class critiques
