Life-Sized Self Portraits (For Grades 6–8) with Alvin White and Jennifer Davenport Sosa

Make full head-to-toe portraits of the most important person in the world—you! Use paint and different kinds of 2D mediums to depict and describe yourself, try out a new you, or explore all your different selves. Alvin White and Jennifer Davenport Sosa will incorporate identity games and exercises during the week to promote self-awareness and pride in each student’s uniqueness.

Registration fees are just $95 per student, per workshop for the general public. Wexner Center members save: members' registration is just $75 per student, per workshop.

Locations and Equipment
All classes will be held at the top floor of Sullivant Hall on the Ohio State campus. Registrants will receive confirmations, final class information, and directions to drop-off point(s) for each workshop via email.

In our computer classes students will work on Macintosh laptops. Children are welcome to bring digital cameras from home for photography-related classes, but please remember to include the cord, battery-charging system, and an empty memory chip. If you don’t have a digital camera, just let us know and we will provide one.

Changes and Cancellations
Dates and times are subject to change. The Wexner Center reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment without incurring obligations. If a class is canceled, you may transfer to another class or request a full tuition refund. If you withdraw from a summer workshop up to seven days before the event, you will receive a full refund less a $25 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after that time.

(If you qualify for a refund, we will contact you directly to arrange it. Our contracted online registration system does not issue automatic refunds.)

Friday Celebrations
Each Summer Kids workshop culminates in a final celebration during the last half-hour of class. Parents, guardians, friends, and family are invited to join the class at this time to see what the young artists have done.
