Members of the King Philip National Art Honor Society students participated in the recently-completed project.
The Memory Project is an international effort with the goal of creating portraits as keepsakes for children living in desperate situations, many of whom have gone through traumatic experiences and personal loss.
Each year, the staff at The Memory Project choose the countries whose children would benefit most from being a part of the project. This year, the KP students were told they would be creating portraits for children living in Cameroon, a country in west-central Africa. The Memory Project then mailed photographs of a group of children for visual reference to KP fine arts teacher Shannon Cress and the students each created a portrait of a child in the medium of their choice.
