Michael Amber, a talented freshman in the School of Arts and Sciences, majoring in Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD) at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), presented charcoal and cardboard portraits to President DeWayne Frazier and Vice President Byron Bullock. His spontaneous and intricate artwork served as a token of appreciation for the leaders’ dedication to the entire AUN student body.
Michael said his passion for art serves as his inspiration. His love for drawing, which he pursued from the age of seven until high school, has allowed him to develop a wider range of abilities. “I drew each of these within thirty minutes,” I started drawing at the age of seven but wasn’t good at it until I got to secondary school, broadened my knowledge of art and the history of the arts, and learned more skills and techniques. Since then, I have been making money from art.”
President DeWayne expressed his gratitude for Michael’s unexpected gift, envisioning future opportunities for students to exhibit their talent in arts, music, poetry, and other artistic craft. “I am glad we have a host of talented students at AUN.”
VP Byron Bullock was equally delighted, praising the beauty and accuracy of his portrait.
