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.

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'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.

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 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 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 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.

Weather for Entebbe, Uganda! I wish our weather was hot and stormy like them instead of cold and rainy :(

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.

I guess this is just some basic info about Uganda from the U.S Dept. of State
