Self Portrait Drawings

Upper school students in painting and drawing used color studies inspired by Soutine or Thibeaut to make self portraits. As a part of this phased work in self-portraiture, students also used monotypes investigate feelings of "otherness." Looking at the work of Berkley Hendricks and thinking about some of the ideas he was pondering (civil rights, women's rights, art history), students were asked whether there are still situations where one can be made to feel like they don't belong based on something they can not change.
