ArtWave Youth Workshop: Wiley Inspired Self-Portrait

Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 | 2:00-3:30pm

In this session of ArtWave, ages 11 to 14 will make their own Kehinde Wiley inspired self-portrait using mixed media on paper. Our artwork will reference Wiley's style, just like Wiley references the work of the Old Masters.

Our self portraits will stand out with the iconic patterned background similar to Wiley's portraits. We will talk about color and composition, in addition to contrasting background and foreground to achieve a dynamic finished product.

Tuition for this 90-minute program includes all supplies. Seats are limited, so signing up in advance is highly encouraged!

Registration will close when workshop is full.

A free scholarship spot may be available for this workshop. Parents receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits) are eligible to apply for this 100% tuition assistance by presenting their EBT card and a photo ID. To start the registration process, please email edennison@ormondartmuseum.org.
