Call it #ExpressionismArt or #FirstLadyArtChallenge and you will not be far from being right. The Expressionism Art by Maame Yaa Adutwum has received a lot of commendation, reactions, and divergent views since photos of her artwork hit the internet when it was presented to the First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo.
Her Expressionism artwork featured a portrait of First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo which was one of the artworks from Ghana for the UK Independent Association of Prep School (IAPS) Art Competition in May 2022.
The artwork was under them, “My Role Model” participants who took part in the 2022 edition were asked to create a portrait of someone who inspires and motivates them, someone they admire, and someone they would like to emulate when they grow up.
Maame Yaa Adutwum (Class 4 – Age 9), a pupil of Roman Ridge School, was one of the participants in this year’s competition. She chose to draw Ghana’s First Lady Her Excellency Rebecca Akufo-Addo as her role model for the competition.
Her choice was a result of the First lady’s positive impact she continues to have on the youth of Ghana.
