Prompt #5: Interview with a Family Member

Ask one family member three questions:

  1. What year were you born?

  2. Where were you born?

  3. How long did you live there?

Create a portrait of them using any drawing materials you prefer; include their answers in your work using text and symbols. Give this to your family member as a gift.
