The Memory Project

This assignment was for The Memory Project, an organization for which art students create portraits for orphaned children around the world, because many of these children don't have any pictures of themselves. I chose a picture of a little girl from Rwanda named Ange to use for my portrait. I added the dogwood flowers in the background because they are the Virginia state flowers, and I wanted to contribute something personal to the portrait, and have it connect to where I (the artist) am from. I think The Memory Project is a really good idea, and am glad to have contributed.
