Additionally, writing to pen pals is an exciting and fun way of meeting new people. The pen pal project engages students to apply their knowledge and allows them to be a part of a unique and fun experience.

  • The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits for children and teens around the world who have been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged. Given that kids in such situations tend to have few personal keepsakes, we're aiming to provide them with special memories that capture a piece of their childhood - portable pieces of their personal history. As much as possible, we also want to help the kids see themselves as works of art. To do this, Mr Gorman's students receive photos of kids from Nicaragua and recreated their portraits using digital media. Next, those portraits are deliver to the kids as gifts. some photos can be seen above.
