Activity #16

"Greatest Generation" Check out how artist Jeffery R. Pugh used his passion for painting to capture his grandmother's incredible work ethic.	"Father" by Krisi Summers This is a mixed media portrait I made of my dad. He loves playing the guitar and fossil hunting so I used fossils and photos from when he was a teenager to make this collage of him..	Digital Portrait by Adam Zollinger This is a portrait I drew of my youngest daughter. It is a digital watercolor I made in Photoshop.
"Grandpa's War Medals" by J.B. Wall In the bottom of an old box I found my Grandpa's war medals. I cleaned them up and framed them with his picture for my family to remember his service.	Painting by Sam Kelly Check out Sam's painting in the Gallery to see how she used her love of art to make family history.	Song & Home Movie by Travis Pitcher "Becky in the Morning." Nothing better than breakfast with my wife in the morning, especially when it is homemade pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. I had to write a short song about it all.
"Farm House View" by Babetta Kelly This is a photograph at my parents house in Fairview, Utah. As a family we love to go there and be together.	2D picture by Ryan Haldeman Check out Ryan's video to see how he makes his family photos come to life.
