Jameel Arts Centre holds together a series of tours and workshops for teens. The workshops feature a guided tour of the galleries and a discovery journey of artworks followed by creative hands-on activities, unique to each visit and led by artists and educators.

Sessions are free-to-attend with advance registration required. Register by emailing [email protected]. Limited spaces are available.

This workshop led by the photographer John Marsland will give participants an introduction to creative and striking portrait making. With a few props, a light and with a camera in hand participants we will create some fun and expressive portraits, using household items and a single light to create striking shadows.

Note that all participants are requested to bring a smartphone or camera they wish to work with.

Key workshop takeaways focus on looking at art but also on making and reflecting.

John Marsland is a professional photographer based in Dubai with over 14 years of experience in creative industries in both the UK and the UAE. Since his move to Dubai, John has worked as an art director and photographer for one of the largest publishing houses in the Middle East, and with clients in the fashion, food and beverage, and lifestyle sectors and developed a clean, minimal and contemporary artistic style. He is particularly passionate about documentary photography and has had this work published online as well as in print.
