Nassos i orelles = retrats?                                          
From the 20th February until the 25th April

What are the essential features needed to make a portrait? Noses and ears or is there a way to create a portrait using other facial features? We can make portraits by focusing only on some of the elements of a face and not all. 

In a workshop aimed at adults as well as children, will take families around the MACBA looking at portraits by a range of artists including God NOse (1965) and Noses & Ears, Etc.:Head (with Nose) (2006) by John Baldessari. 

With coloured paper. paints, pens and elastic participants will then have an opportunity to create their own masks with a difference.
