ESM Memory Project
As part of the Studio Art curriculum our students learn about facial proportions and create portraits. This year we were able to work with the Memory Project, a non profit organization, to create portraits for youth currently living in orphanages in Russia. This unit allowed our students to not only learn about and create beautiful portraits but also to explore the Russian culture and practice global kindness towards children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. The Memory Project hand delivered our drawings to these children and video taped the responses. To view, please click on the following link. ESM Memory Project / Russia

We are asking the community to write letters in support of this initiative. For more information and sample letters, please click on the following link: Letter Writing Campaign.
