Sketch for Communication class
Done in just ten minutes when he realises he has homework due! The oldest boy at URPI is a 15 year old called Manuel. He was really shy with Ai and I at first, but now we are good mates and every time we arrive he comes over to greet us.
Manuel is pretty remarkable, for a 15 year old boy he is very creative and can knit, sew, carve wood, paint and sketch. A few times we have arrived at URPI to find him deep in some creative activity, and its thought amongst the staff that he will take a stall at the local artisan market and sell his handiwork when he leaves URPI.
I have popped in some photos here of the work he has done while we have been at URPI. They include a sketch of a Peruvian opera singer for his school communication class, a chest of drawers for jewellry made out of lollipop sticks, and a scarf - a Christmas present for his school teacher. Can you imagine a 15 year old boy in the UK knitting a scarf for his teacher??
For Christmas, Manuel presented Ai and I with a little jewelry box each, I have posted up a picture. They are made from
The finished item
Embarrased by our congratulations, Manuel holds up the finished piece lollipop sticks and so pretty. We were really pleased with them, although I have no idea how I will get mine home in one piece!
