What is a Self-Portrait? MCAD Students Respond “Any time you're asked to describe your work and you end up describing yourself.” “An exercise of truth that involves your experience with oneself, to depict what it is you see.” “A self-portrait offers a more personal glimpse into how someone views themselves than what might normally be offered from an outside perspective.” “A self-portrait is a great way to describe yourself without words.” Tell me more about MCAD Email CAPTCHA
