Working primarily from a mirror and photographic references, students develop drawings that move beyond physical likeness to investigate identity, mood, memory, and personal narrative. With instructor guidance, students will consider proportion, composition, value, and mark-making while experimenting with a variety of drawing materials and approaches. Students are encouraged to consider how pose, scale, cropping, symbolism, and expressive techniques can shape the meaning of a portrait.
