Hello Group 3 Members!

We wanted to contact you before your meeting tomorrow to share with you some of our ideas. We have a couple and would like to hear your feedback, we are open to any suggestions you have or ideas that you would like to bring into the artwork.

1. Juxtaposition of black & white vs. Color
2. Incorporating Social Issues into Political Artworks - America struggling with daily issues
3. Layering as a Collaborative Process - We could send images back and forth as we each takes turns altering it.

Tusasirane,

The way you word things is beautiful in my opinion. While it is true that some Americans are racist there are also many people that are able to look beyond the color of ones skin and see people for who they really are. In some areas it is more difficult for blacks to find jobs as it is with other minorities. I myself am Colombian and have faced some discrimination growing up. It was until college that I realized how much harder people with a darker skin tone have to work. I agree with you when you ask does it really matter what colour we are wearing?

This is our mission as art educators, to spread the word that with art comes beauty and growth. We can bring people together through the act of making art. It is through the creative mind that social justice can be achieved. Our professor showed us some movies and photos from her trip to Uganda and I was blown away with the scenery. All of the children in the footage are absolutely beautiful. I admire the hard work and passion that you put into your studies. It is someone like you that will change and shape the young minds of your generation. You will give them tools and ideas that will stay with them forever.

Art can and WILL rule the world one day,
Angela

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.
