Youth, fame, and beauty are marks of modern society. Artist Elizabeth Peyton has captured all three in her series of imagined rock star portraits. The class analyzes her use of technique, emotion, and imagination in each of six pieces, then they apply what they learn to their own art. They create similar portraits of their imagined community using watercolor, oils, or acrylics.
