Memory Project

CAEA Secondary School Teachers: The Memory Project, a children’s art charity that is based in the US but conducts art activities with children around the world (memoryproject.org), invites California art teachers at the secondary level to help us out with a very special project.  Over the past 2 months we have photographed 1,500 Syrian children living in refugee camps on the Syrian border.  We're now looking for art students to study these photos of the children and create portraits as special gifts for them.
