Identity is a topic I return to often with my students. There was a time long ago when I considered self-portraits to be images drawn from a mirror. Now I view self-investigation as one of the most important topics in my class. We have considered various lenses of our personal identity: cultural, familial, stereotypical, heroic, and fragmented to name a few. Currently we are considering our palimpsestic, other, cute/anti-cute identities. The possibilities are endless. We learn what makes us tick and why.
The slide show below comes from a presentation I gave at the National Art Education Association in 2007. It was titled Contextualized Identity: In Search of Selfhood.
