  UGANDAN ART
  I think Ugandan art is so amaizing it is expressed through the way we dress,through music, traditional functions, paintings and other aspects of life etc.However it is given value only when some one has passed through different levels of education and that is achieved according to ones capacity in terms of financial status which is really a challenge.there are those who stop at a diploma level, degree level and then masters.so according to me i do different kinds of art ; i do weaving it includes making of scarfs,macrame,table clothes,wall hangings and so many and we use different materials and tools. fashion design and then painting , this is in two ways abstract and realism .abstract art in painting is where you paint an art work basing on a true story but you make it abstract and i think it is interesting for people who are shy about sharing their true story for example HIV/AIDS victims they prefer telling it through abstract paintings and sculptures.There other course units that we do including layout and advertisement,3d design,marketing ,history of art where we learn about different architectures which Uganda has borrowed from outside like Gothic architecture which is mostly found in churches,paintings ,sculptures etc.I think Ugandan art is interesting because we a free to express ourselves according to the environment around us,our culture and in so doing we share a lot of things about cultures.However we face so many challenges for example lack of materials and tools to use,which limit us from expressing ourselves the way we would wish to and achieving further studies since its valued according to the levels of education due to competition around the country.
  
  What i think about American art.
  I think it is so interesting given so many kinds of media and technology used however am confused and i would really love to know about what you guys consider as your source of inspiration. As i said we base ours on culture and environment.it was nice having such a conversation a pleasure is all mine.
