The “Drawing II” class in the Black Family Visual Arts Center reinforces techniques while also emphasizing personal development and critical thinking.

In this assignment from Viktor Witkowski, a lecturer in the Department of Studio Art, students had two options: either create a self-portrait that also offers some insight into their family history or, using sketches and drawings they made of live models from earlier in the term, make a larger drawing that includes several of them, rearranged and layered.
