For the first time this year, my Art 3 students and my National Art Honor Society students participated in the Memory Project. This powerful project was started by an art educator from Wisconsin in 2004 and has involved hundreds of thousands of children. Many NGOs and other charities working with children in difficult circumstances all over the world send photos of the children they work with to the Memory Project, and art students create portraits of the children to mail to them. The children are thrilled to receive their portraits which have been so lovingly created by students across the world from them. Each of my students engaged with this project fully and authentically and learned about how to use the grid method to accurately render facial proportions.
Take a look at some of their beautiful work in the gallery below.
