Oak Forest AP Studio Art Teacher Dan Chambers and student artist Abbey Hernandez. were live on CBS2 Thursday morning to talk about the Memory Project!
For the past few weeks, Oak Forest High School AP studio art students have been working on portraits of children in need from Colombia through the Memory Project. Eleven students from OFHS have put in hours of hard work painting and/or drawing their portraits.
On the back of each portrait, students traced their hands and wrote a message inside the tracing to the child they created artwork for. Children who will receive their artwork are orphans, refugees, or displaced. OFHS students are proud to work so hard on something they ultimately have to give away.
