Uganda-USA Fall 2010

i want to first thank and appreciate everyones effort in trying to make sure that this association/group keeps moving towards a positive direction. i used to think that usa painters and graphic designers were way too exceptional compared to the ones here, but now i know that people here can do well or even better in the same field. but i also know that we can all do better in art only when we are willing to help each other and work together. this makes me believe that we have good artists just like those in usa. but ofcourse, i have to admit that paintings and graphics from usa have a little class that we need to get to here. am very grateful to everyone. God bless u all.

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.

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

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.

PPT, PPTX, and PDF are all supported presentation file types. No single file can be larger than 25MB with a Free account. if you enter the exact url of a file you can import it directly, but the link must be absolutely correct. Note that most 'links' to videos online do not point directly to the video file and so won't work. But do have the accurate file location of a video it should work.

My perception about Graphic Design was different. The designers in uganda have alot to learn in terms of simplicity, legibilty and readability of the message, athough some of them have learnt about you there is still more to lear especially use of typography to convey messages.

I chose this website because when I looked at the student's blogs I saw that some of them said they were students here. I was wondering if they use this website as much as Penn State students use ours. We're constantly using e-mail and accessing our courses online. I also wanted to get a feel for what their school is like.

"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'm very interested in other countries wildlife and vegetation. Since this is what is part of everyday life, I think it is interesting to know what it is like when you walk outside in the morning.

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.

I found this while searching on youtube. I found a lot of traditional dances but I was wondering what kinda of music the youth listens to to. We were told you cant watch youtube videos but you can see the links and writing. do other parts of africa near you have better broadband? I know of some people from the united states who studied in south africa for a semester but that is so far away.

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.
