    The Museum School's high school courses and workshops are open to students with various levels of experience. Whether you are new to art or a serious art student wanting to develop a portfolio, we invite you to join us! Our faculty will help advance your technical skills and introduce you to new forms of artmaking.

    The portrait is a subject that has endured throughout the history of art and is essential to virtually every form of fine art, from painting and sculpture to video and photography. Portraiture is specific and general, timely and timeless. It tells us about a particular individual while revealing something about us all. Portrait drawing involves technical, organizational, spiritual, and philosophical concerns basic to any work of art. The initial objective is to produce a physical resemblance to the model, but is even more important to progress toward the elusive "other" inner life (sometimes at the expense of physical likeness). Although this workshop focuses on drawing, we will explore several approaches to portraiture using materials such as charcoal, graphite, acrylic, ink washes, and water-based paint.
