Self-Portrait Drawing Workshop with Elizabeth Adams Jones

15 and 16 Oct 2016, 10 am – 4 pm
Heritage Space

From Heritage Space:

You are invited to join A DIALOGUE WITH SELF – Self Portrait Drawing Workshop with artist Elizabeth Adams Jones from New York (USA).

The Workshop is from series of public program from project Month of Arts Practice 2016 in order to promote the interactive exchange between the artist and the public.

Confronting yourself in the mirror is an interesting exchange. We habitually check to see how we look before we go out, to see if we need to make any changes. But in the practice of self portraiture, it is a process of seeing ourselves as we are and making notations of that vision with our mark making. It is a way of looking at oneself through a different lens, as an observer. In this workshop we will examine some basic elements of drawing and proportion to help provide us with some tools for this journey of introspection. We will see how each person has a unique form of expression, and how we see ourselves in an individual way. Self portrait drawing is like a form of journaling.

As we are always changing, growing and aging, capturing specific moments in time through self portraiture becomes a monument to who we are “now.”

* *ABOUT MONTH OF ARTS PRACTICE

Month of Arts Practice is an annual project of Heritage Space and was initiated by artist Tran Trong Vu, aiming to create space for composing, testing, practicing new art ideas, upon cooperation and interaction of international and Vietnamese artists.

In 2015, Month of Arts Practice has been very successful with the theme “Brownian Movement”. This year, the program also will be an opportunity for Vietnam artists with practice and learning experience with reputed international artists during 6 weeks (from 17 September to 31 October 2016) . Moreover, in order to support the development of Vietnam Contemporary Art, the organizer Heritage Space would like to create an open and interactive forum through a series of activities to introduce and dialogue between artists, professionals and the public.

With the theme “Finite and Infinite”, the artists participating in Month for Arts Practice-version 2nd will find ways to change the surface, the limited spaces, and the specific images. They will put on those other factors so that there are no longer limits or borders. For example, the visual game of mirrors, light, or repeated shapes, the idea behind pictures, or the integration of mathematics, geometry, philosophy into art.

Heritage Space is a combination of an art gallery, a library, a concert hall, co-working office, residency space, artist studios and some open-stages, which has the capacity to host art exhibitions, music events, educational programs, multi-creative forms, artist-in-residency programs and others. Run by a group of curators, artists, researchers, musicians and architects, Heritage Space’s mission is to become a HUB for individuals and groups working on multi-disciplines from both inside and outside of the country to support and develop the creative industries in Vietnam.
