The Power of Self-Portraiture (Online)

Self-portraiture offers a sense of immense control. It also forces you to open up a very private part of yourself to your audience. The genre thus exemplifies the tension between the artist's power and fragility. Self-portraiture can be about narcissism, where you put yourself in the center of everything. Or, it can be about ego, or even "voice," where you restore or build a sense of self. Participants in this class study the complexities of how to create a coherent body of self-portraits. We also look at the work of Francesca Woodman, Nan Goldin, and others.
