1. Research. Pick at least two works of art that depict people. Start by visiting the website for Hair: Untangling the Roots of Identity, an exhibition at Cornell University’s Johnson Museum of Art. You can also search in MoMA’s collection.
2. Consider and create. Looking at the subject(s) in the work of art, think about what their hairstyles might reveal about their identity. What does the hairstyle of the person in the image you chose say about them? How would you describe them? Lower class? Upper class? Young? Old? Etc.
