Ariana Vaeth is a artist focused on contemporary narrative through the self-portrait. Her work presents an entanglement of tender interactions between friends, family, and chosen-family. Vaeth received her undergraduate degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, and she teaches Interdisciplinary Drawing at Beloit College. Ariana was the first A.I.R. at the Dome House.

In this workshop, art students will create paintings of their favorite toys/objects that represent them. Each child/family should bring in 2-4 objects they cherish. Together, we will create expressive still life drawings that represent what we love about ourselves. Possible objects can be:

• Dolls

• Old or framed photographs

• Books

• Sentimental items

• A can of soda or box of cereal

• Jewelry

• A pair of shoes

Each class is limited to the first 15 children of ages 7-12. Please reserve a space by emailing: kids@domehouseart.org. Your space is guaranteed only if you receive a confirmation email.
