Nancy Burson: Warhead
(55% Reagan, 45% Brezhnev,
less than 1% each of Thatcher,
Mitterand, and Deng), 1982

Project Description

Your assignment is to create a series of 5 portraits that consider portraiture in a creative, original manner. Your images should show an understanding of the conventions of portraiture by using them or breaking them in the quest for originality. Your series should not be purely aesthetic in nature, but should be bound by an underlying idea or concept.

Example Artists: Loretta Lux, David Hilliard, Pinar Yolacan, Helen Van Meene, Nancy Burson, Jake Rowland, Yasuma Morimora, Jason Salavon
