Assignment: Students are asked to depict themselves as a member of a tribe in which they are actually not a member of. They will work from digital photographs of themselves along with images that are taken from actual tribes, such as the Masai, Zulus, etc. They will research the adornments, hairstyles, tatoos, etc. of the tribes they wish to identify with and incorporate these looks into their own drawings.
