Biro drawing of a Ugandan carpenter, Namirembe Vocational School for the Deaf, Kampala.
Over the summer, I spent 4 weeks in Uganda as part of my travels around Africa.
During that time, my Aunt sorted me out with doing some experience at a couple of schools for the deaf around Kampala.
The time I spent at the schools with the students was a profound and insightful experience. I had learnt so much from the teachers, the students and most of all, my Aunty Joyce who has enlightened me with a community I knew so little about.
Below are some paintings and drawings I did of the art students at Wakiso Secondary School for the Deaf who I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know personally as part of my first project in Fine Art.

BIRO MANIA
I tried to exercise my drawing skills by doing free hand self-portraits in pen.
Although the portraits don't look 100% like me (or not at all), I was pleased with the outcome.
I don't know what I look like anymore.
