Drawing Your Personality

Suppose you lived in a place where images of past relatives were kept in every home. Think of how you would like future generations of your family to remember you. Then complete a pencil drawing of yourself as seen from the front. Show yourself in an activity that reveals your personality. The figure does not need to be a perfect likeness. It must, however, tell viewers about the kind of person you were. Your personality, not your appearance, should be shown.

PORTFOLIO
Ask two or three classmates to describe your work in one word. List their words in your sketchbook, and compare them to the image you wanted to show. Then tell what, if anything, you might do differently if you drew yourself again.
