The kids attending NTI at the Family Success Center celebrated Black History Month by creating portraits of their favorite Black heroes, past and present.
Local artist Mariah Lewis worked with the kids on their projects. “The kids were so full of energy and so talented to be as young as they are. They definitely have a bright future ahead of them. All of their pieces were done by them with little to no help from me!!! They were very engaged and asked wonderful questions to ensure their knowledge of art in general. I was so proud of their masterpieces they created and their creativity!!!,” Mariah said.
In addition to the portraits, the kids wrote bios for each subject and presented their work to staff, fellow students, and proud parents.
