Join instructor Christopher Lopez to learn how to create your own video portrait using your smartphone. Participants will discuss and analyze the significance of the selfie as they explore the exhibition Screen Time: Photography and Video Art in the Internet Age. They will learn techniques for creating their own video portraits using one personal item of significance brought from home for inspiration. THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY RESERVED.
