National
Art
Honors
students
from
C.D.
Hylton
High
School
are
working
with
the
Memory
Project,
a
philanthropy
organization
that
cultivates
global
kindness
by
promoting
intercultural
awareness
between
children
around
the
world
through
the
universal
language
of
art.
The
students'
project
focuses
on
bringing
awareness
of
refugee
children
in
Malaysia
through
art.
After
watching
a
video
on
Malaysian
culture
and
everyday
life,
the
students
used
colored
pencils
and
paint
to
create
portraits
of
the
Malaysian
children.
The
portraits
will
be
mailed
and
delivered
to
the
children
as
a
special
gift.
Hylton
Art
Teacher
Alison
Willis
shared,
"The
students
did
a
fabulous
job
as
each
finished
portrait
was
a
beautiful
work
of
art.
I'm
planning
on
involving
more
students
next
year
because
so
many
students
took
interest
in
the
project.
In
fact,
they
want
to
do
more
portraits
for
another
country
again
this
year."
Through
the
Memory
Project,
Hylton
students
are
showing
children
living
in
difficult
situations
that
they
are
valued
and
important.
