For the fist half of the semester we are drawing portraits of kids from Cambodia. These pictures are being used for a program where they are sent directly to the kids for them to have. I think this is a great project because we are using our talents to send to kids who would enjoy a personal gift to them. We started of by practicing differnt ways to draw. We did oil pastel, collored pencil, and regular pencil. I enjoyed regular pencil the most because we had already done a project like it last year so it was the most familiar to me. The other two were both fairly difficult and was pretty new to both of them.
I really enjoyed this project. It was my second time doing a self portrait using pencils and it was fun to be able to see improvement. Especially when looking back on my previous one, I could see the improvement. I would love to do this again and continue to improve because the end result is always so fun.
When Rsmey receives this project I hope he feels loved. This organization that is going on is such a blessing and I hope the kids love the connection that is happening between the kids and us students. Although it may not be perfect or there favorite picture, I hope they can find joy and happiness in this project that is happening each year.
