Even lifeless things such as electronics can sometimes give off specific personality or sentiment. In this workshop you will be shown how to have the skill of creating abstract faces using everyday shapes and colors. Its incredible how a bit of creativity can infuse life ad feeling into something as seemingly simple as a collection of shapes and colors.

All you need is some paper, pencil, markers and an open mind to put a face together.
