Creative Self-Portraiture (Live Online)

via CourseHorse

Overview

Step away from the mirror. Leave the selfie behind. This is not about capturing how you look—it’s about revealing who you are.

In this imaginative journey with Ken Merfeld, you’ll dive deep into the art of self-portraiture—where interpretation trumps presentation, and storytelling eclipses the expected. You’ll be challenged to peel back the layers: reveal your intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and psychological truths through the lens.

Think mystery over the mundane, theater over tradition. With Merfeld as your guide, you’ll enter a creative twilight zone—where vision takes flight and norms are left at the door.

Expect conceptual assignments, lively discussions grounded in both contemporary and historical works, and the chance to create your own compelling portrait series. Come prepared: your first self-portrait and a personal portfolio presentation are due on day one.

Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Show us the artist behind the eyes.
