Join us for a vibrant 90-minute workshop designed for ages 8-10, where participants will explore the art of the self-portrait! Through cutting, coloring, and assembling their distinctive features on a 2D surface, young artists will create a one-of-a-kind reflection of themselves. Perfect for all skill levels, this project encourages self-expression and allows each individual to showcase their unique personality in a fun and engaging way!
