Students had a design brief to create a portrait of themselves as ‘future leaders’ making a stand to represent a cause they feel passionate about, or to make a portrait of someone they admire for similar reasons. Many of our students found UNICEF Global Goals as a good source of inspiration for addressing inequality around the world.

As in Fairey’s ‘Hope’ Artwork created for the Obama campaign, there is a lot of promise in this inspiring group of skillful young leaders!
