Assignment Criteria:

For this assignment, you need to create a ‘conceptual self portrait.’ The finished work does not need to be realistic and may be 2-D or 3 – D. You are responsible for collecting the material you want to work with in creating this portrait. Non-traditional approaches to the CSP problem are encouraged.

The self-portrait will be put on display somewhere in the school. (Either in the BCHS Art gallery or display cases. Other spaces – inside or out- may be used with prior arrangement and consent).
