Learn how to paint life-size people using only fingers, no paintbrushes. Master a new approach to figure painting by addressing every detail in a sequence, from head to toe, starting from their hair, face, body, to creating their character and expressive gestures. Design their clothing, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. The materials for this artwork will be large-format canvas, latex paint and charcoal, with optional extras like golden color of paint for the details. In a unique twist, you'll be doing this project in the role-playing style as several professionals: a set designer, shoemaker, hairdresser, fashion designer, makeup artist, photographer, stylist, jeweler, and art gallery curator. The design of the project breaks the process into sequential tasks to enhance the learning experience of each individual artist and the whole group. Your acting as a Team Leader and Project Manager, in addition to being an Artist, will add a few extra job experiences to creativity.
