Sadé DuBoise is KSMoCA’s Winter 2024 artist-in-residence. At KSMoCA, DuBoise led two workshops with Ms. Tran’s second grade class, where she helped students create their own portraits in nature. During the first workshop students had their portraits taken in their favorite outdoor spaces, which they later transferred onto watercolor paper. They were then instructed to select prompts that encouraged them to think creatively about their experiences in nature. During the second workshop students were encouraged to reinterpret their photos however they saw fit as DuBoise led them through the process of painting their portraits. The workshops were designed to not just teach painting techniques but to also connect the students with nature and their own creative expressions. It was a joy to see their individual perspectives and connections to the outdoors come to life through their artwork,” said DuBoise.

The exhibit opening takes place in the Cafetorium hallway. Please stop by the Main Office to sign in and receive a “Visitor” badge.
