The First Self-Portrait DRPT Student Group Exhibition showcases the impressive variety, talent, and insight of OCAD U's first-year Drawing and Painting students from the Fall 2024 cohort. The works displayed—a Painting 2 final assignment centred around student lived experience—are the result of a year of intensive conceptual, technical, and personal growth. The exhibition empowers returning students with a reminder of what they accomplished in their first year and motivates new students by showing them what they are working towards.
