IRL on Real Life is a new, ongoing lecture and workshop series hosted by DPI Faculty and Staff. Each session will be open to all DPI students and will focus on a specific artistic or real-world skill necessary for emerging imagemaking artists to thrive personally and professionally.
Engage in an open conversation on how to think about putting together your portfolio - "curating" your work - so that you can make a strong pitch, conduct a dynamic studio visit, and more.
Refine your technical control while prioritizing conversation, listening, and the subtle negotiations that unfold between artist and sitter. Through guided exercises, you will discuss the performative nature of the pose and approach portraiture as a form of improvisation, to allow vulnerability, agency, and affect to surface.
RSVP Required.
