JOIN OUR GHS ART CLUBS JOIN OUR GHS ART CLUBS

Portrait Project Club with Ms. Julie Nixon (Club Advisor)

The Portrait Project works with the Memory Project connecting students throughout the United States with students from other countries experiencing hardship. Our students are each given a photograph of one partner from another country and draw or paint a portrait of that child to be sent to them wherever they live. For example, this year our portraits were made for children in Syria. The portraits will also have a message and picture from our student artists at GHS on the back.
