Using a system of proportions and class discussion of historic sculpture styles, create a self-portrait in clay. Build an armature, use a drawing, photographs and a mirror to complete your project, and have it fired for a lasting work of art.

Paul Jenkins is an important figure in post-World War II American Abstraction. He is best known for his painterly explorations of color, form, and light. A student of Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League of New York, Jenkins has received international acclaim for his colorful creations in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. Now in his 80s, Jenkins continues to exhibit in America and Europe. His works can be found in the collections of major museums, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Brooklyn Museum. This exhibition is drawn from the collections of Margie and Graham Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Halverson, Preston H. Haskell, The Haskell Collection, the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zimmerman.
