I'm giving a 4 week Portrait Class at The Art Department in Salem Oregon.
This is a much more extensive class and will allow for students to learn the basics, build on those skills, and work on a drawing of someone they know personally.

Class description and dates:
DRAWING PORTRAITS
Jami Moffett
October 13 - November 3, Mondays, 4 weeks, 6-8pm
$95Join Jami in this 4 week comprehensive study of the face. This class will contain information to help you define your skills, strengthen your powers of observation and learn to recreate photographic references of the face "parts" (eyes, ears, lips, hair) as well as the face as a whole. Students will gain knowledge and experience to reproduce a likeness. You will learn the importance of light and shadow, correct proportions, blending and shading. Learn to use the various degrees of graphite pencils, charcoal and other accompanying tools.

Below you will find examples by me. Scroll down farther and find a few student examples from the one day workshops.

Begin Being

One day, not that long ago, I was writing an email and I transposed my letters. "Begin" became "Being". Given the fact I had been on a personal journey of becoming the person I felt I was meant to be, I found this spelling slip to be quite serendipitous. I decided to call my journey (and my blog) Begin Being.

The Art Classes that I teach in my town of Salem, Oregon will be listed  here.
Locations of my art and jewelry endeavors will also be listed.

Plus, I have this "thing" about quotes- love them- so those will be listed as well.

I hope you will join me as I explore.

Quote for today: "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."  Lao Tzu
