What a person wears tells a story. From the choice of specific attire, colors, accessories, and fabrics to the way in which someone inhabits their clothes (comfortably, stiffly, self-consciously …), we find clues that chronicle the nature of the person in front of us, both on the superficial societal level and on the deeper psychological level. In this workshop, we’ll be working on one long pose with an elegantly dressed model (with a twist!) to find/create their story.
Telfair will again open its doors and offer free admission for the venerable Super Museum Sunday celebration in connection with the Georgia History Festival. Hands-on art making activities for families will be offered at the Jepson Center only.
