    Hello my group members,

    My name is Nakalembe Grace or you can call me Gracielah Mwesigwa, an art student of Makerere University in Uganda.

    I think Ugandan art is very wide, it involves weaving, fashion design,
    painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, graphics and others. Basically
    I will talk about all of them briefly starting with what I do; weaving;
    this involves different types of weaves that is plain weaves, tapestry,
    scarf weaving, macrame, basketry and jewelry making. Creating a weave is
    like creating a fabric or a textile and it can either be designed or plain.
    With macrame you can create different products like fruit holders, fabrics,
    necklaces, bracelets, name it.

    Fashion design in Uganda is the most growing art now. It involves getting
    an idea, an inspiration, put that idea on paper and then come up with [images sent to group]
