Emerging Artist: Emily

Emily, 4th grade

Each Thursday you will be among the privileged few to behold a
portrait of an 826 volunteer as part of our "Emerging Artist" series.
These portraits are drawn by the brilliant artist-students that
regularly visit 826's drop in tutoring program. This week we proudly
present the art of fourth grader Emily. In her spotlighted portrait,
Emily alludes to the volunteer's subconscious—happy and fulfilled—as
well as the world of contemporary art. She draws upon many schools
of thought and influence in her extraordinary work; she touches upon
trends in social and political movements while delicately implying
that the discord between pen and paper never really existed. Thank you
Emily.
