The Portrait Project

You might have noticed Shelley Robinson and Jody Spellun doing sketches of residents in the lounge last week.

They were participating in an event sponsored by the worldwide group “Urban Sketchers,” with chapters in 60 countries, a group of artists who enjoy sketching together and sharing their work.

The “100-People-in-a-Week” project is a challenge which Shelley and Jody did for fun. They plan to put the original sketches into archival binders available for viewing in the KoH library or art room.
