Each week we’ll get inspired by a different artwork on view from artists such as Aliza Nisenbaum, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell, and more! Join us this week as we get inspired by Pablo Picasso’s artwork, Woman in a Hat (Marie-Thérèse Walter) . First, we’ll observe Picasso’s use of perspective. Then, with oil pastels, geometric shapes, and googly eyes, we’ll create wacky self-portraits that capture every side of ourselves. Meet in Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level.
