ANCESTRAL RESEARCH DRAWING


Final for Drawing and Surface, December 2022 Adobe Photoshop, charcoal, conte crayon, acrylic paint, mod podge, paper

This drawing is an exploration of my ancestry and the characteristics I share with my relatives. I used Adobe Photoshop to combine images of myself, my brother, my parents, and my grandparents. I then drew the charcoal portrait using the compiled image as a reference. I layered printed out images of family immigration documents, draft cards, school pictures, and other memorabilia on top.
