Ciera West | Printmaker & Mixed-Media Artist
About the Class:
Using Picasso’s abstract portraits as inspiration, students will create their own self-portraits using scissors, paper, and colored pencils. Ciera will guide participants through exploring abstract facial features, bold shapes, and expressive color to create a unique work of art.
This is the perfect activity for parents looking to explore the Joplin Regional Artist Studio Tours happening November 1 & 2, 2025. The Studio Tours home base will be located at The Cornell Complex.
