    I always thought that art in the USA was similar to that done in Uganda. The way art is presented on this website, it seems that there is a great difference between what is there and what is here. I can see that the artists are working more with popular images in their presentation of ideas. Yet here in Uganda, the artist is so much int0 inventing new ideas normally called 'abstract art'. How can art come together as an activity rather than an invention of ideas and presentations?

    http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/ This large-scale exhibition examines the impact of women artists on the traditionally male-dominated field of Pop art. It reconsiders the narrow definition of the Pop art movement and reevaluates its critical reception. In recovering important female artists, the show expands the canon to reflect more accurately the women working internationally during this period. The exhibition features more than fifty artworks by Chryssa, Niki de Saint Phalle, Rosalyn Drexler, Marisol, Yayoi Kusama, Jann Haworth, Vija Celmins, Lee Lozano, Marjorie Strider, Idelle Weber, and Joyce Wieland, among others.

      Without knowing anything information or background about Uganda's art world. I was interested in finding out a little about Uganda's art history and movements taking place today. On this specific site I found the slideshow at the bottom very interesting. A lot of the art looks to be tribal art, which is very cool! It's a lot different than contemporary art that we have in our society today.

      In my blog I was most curious about finding information about the art and art forms in Uganda. I found this site and it was very interesting to me. The site gives some insight to a children art group but it also revealed some things about life and culture in Uganda. The art group gained its start through events occuring in Uganda.

    "Let Art Talk" really focuses on collaboration and using art as a way to bring the community together. The statement emphasized in the banner of their webpage is "Empowering communities through art", and artists strive to face social problems head-on and help others overcome these obstacles by using art as a way to creatively express themselves.

      I chose this website because I do not know much about the Uganda schools for art or art history. This website caught my eye because it described the history of that as well as gave examples of different types of schools

    I used to think before that Us artists( painters) were more abstract than any other in this world. but depending on the information i got from this adress, they are more realistic,neat and love landscapes. but any way its quite different here in uganda because it involves more of absract art.

    The site you bookmarked are paintings from the past century in Europe, primarily France and England and not art from USA artists. Here's a link to an online gallery of work by graduate students and alumni of the School of Visual Arts at Penn State: https://www.sova.psu.edu/online_gallery/online_gallery

    I saw this movie a while back and I was not sure how true or false the movie is. I was unsure if it was propaganda or if it was true news report on the HIV/Aids epidemic in Africa. When I think of social issues in African countries, Uganda included, I think about this movie.

    You could create the collaborative art with "word clouds" using the text from the dialogue and wordle.net, or ImageChef or Textorizer. This can be layered with the individual images shared by those in the group. Use what has been contributed by those in your group to create an image and post on VoiceThread.

    I was curious as to see which artist would come up first when I typed in Uganda art and this is the first one that game up in Bing. This artwork is full of cultural traditions and depictions of people engaging in social activities and daily rituals. I am very interested in what Fred Mutebi has done as an Artist and also his work with LAT.

      When thinking about Uganda, I learned about the country directly near it called Tanzania. So this is the perception I have and I chose to look at the Zanzbar doors because they are my favorite from my art hisory class. I picture close living situations but homes and peoples living areas being uniquely to them. I have no idea if this is how Uganda is, but this is somehting that I wonder about.
