This assignment was really fun because you get to show what you think the Earth should be about through art. The materials I used were construction paper, scissors, markers, and tape. I made a world and many faces of kids of different races. My theme was “Let’s Make World Peace”. I chose this image because at church our pastor teaches us about peace and love. I thought people coming together from different races would be a good example of the type of peace the world needs these days. My art can impact others because being displayed at church people can see it and get the message about peace. I learned that people are interested in what kids have to say. They were asking me about the project and thought I was doing a great thing. I will take my ideas and share them with others from doing this project and I have learned how to make a difference.

I thought that this project taught everyone that peace is an important quality in life and that everyone should not be judgemental. I loved the colors on mine because the rainbow shows and/or represents the different cultures, races, religions, etc. of our world. Join Hands!

"A Dove is peaceful as the word Peace is good.” I used bottle caps, paper, marbles, paint, glue, glitter, 1 bean, string, and buttons. I drew a dove holding a sign that says “ Peace is good”. So, it is flying everywhere so people can see the sign. I choose this image because doves are peaceful to world. That when people see the dove and the sign , they would see how peaceful both the dove and the words are. I loved this experience because there is too much violence in this world. So, I did this master peace to teach other people about peace. I learned what the symbol peace means and how nice/ good it is being peaceful. I would take away from this project the 3 bottle caps that I painted blue and hot glued them on the card board.

For this project I used paper, pen, paint, and fabric. I created a face vase in the shape of a dove to show that we are all a part of peace. The fabric represents people and how they are all different but intertwined and how their decisions affect each other. We all have to work together for peace. I found this experience to be enlightening and found it to be my interpretation of peace.

I used contact paper, wrapping paper, and some pieces of colored paper I found for the background of my poster. I used a fake holly for the P and the C. I used buttons for the first E. I used a paper bag handle with a part of a boarder for the A. I used some felt for the second E. I made the word PEACE because I thought that people would know what it meant because I’m trying to say exactly what I wrote. I found this experience fun and new. I learned that it’s not good enough just to know that you know what peace is, we all need to spread the word of peace to the whole world. I hope that the people who see it will spread peace to other people and make the world a better place for everyone.

I wanted my community to know about peace and how it affects everyone. That is why I choose the Trinity River Mission because it is a place to help children. From what I have learned is that we can teach people with showing and demonstrating kids first.

My poster has only one word, "LIVE!" The only reason I put that is because I couldn't find a symbol representing it. The rest are symbols representing other things like; peace, recycling, and being happy. So the whole message I am trying to give is to live these ways, peacefully, recycling, and being happy. The materials that I used was mostly construction paper, unused empty discs and Christmas tree ribbon decoration for the border. Making this was fun. I like crafts and especially when you could use whatever you want. I hope that at least one person would really understands the message and what I am saying. Overall this really shows peace.

I just made a poster that I thought would catch people's attention. I used paint, scissors, glue, stickers, stars, etc. I created a imaged that was very simple and unique to me. I chose this image because I love color and it would be different. I want people to NOT think of war of messing up my art, but to have peace. I learn that
images, posters, words, etc. can really make a difference in our world if we speak up.

My Peace Project was all about making peace in boxes. I did a puzzle piece with boxes of what makes the world a happy place: Peace, Kindness and Love. That’s what I think the world needs to make it a happy place. Peace represents everyone getting along nobody getting hurt whether it’s physically or emotionally. Kindness represents people getting along like when you see that picture that has a world and everybody holding hands. Love represents when we all appreciate what we do and when we just like each other like Michael Jackson’s song remix “We are all part of god’s great big family.”All of this just makes everyone happy and we made a bigger step to make the world happy.

On my art I used fabric, yarn, colored paper, and paint. The image I wanted to create was that love and peace is good for the world. I chose this image because I love the quote "live laugh love". I found this experience very fun and interesting. Something I took away from this project was how one little thing could help the world.

I made a picture of the world with a kind of hippie background. I used paper and markers to make the background and some spongy material that was going to go to the trash, but I was able to use it. I really think this will influence people to stop and see the harm that is being done and hopefully they will want to make a difference in the world. I learned that just with the simple everyday things you do at home you can be helping Earth. I also learned that you do not have to go to the store and buy materials that are already around you, you can make an amazing project just by using everyday things and things that around you.

I am proud to have made this project to promote peace. I made a landscape. I used neon types of glitter glue, tissue paper, and paper. I decided to make a landscape because it looks peaceful and very happy if you are peaceful. I think I will make a huge impact on the kids that go to the library because it promotes peace and it says the day to be peaceful. I thought it was a very great and artistic because i had fun making while at the same time I am promoting something good that is peace. I learned that not just September 21 is peace day but we should make it or try to make it everyday.

I want my blog post to say peace all over the world. I drew a peace sign with the word above make peace. I used markers, pencils, colorful rocks, and glue. I chose this image so people would understand what we did. I think this will influence people to go and do something good in the world. I found this experince inspirational. I learned that not everyone has peace in their life. I will take with me everything I've learned.

I used tin foil, green, black, and white glass beads, sea shells and plastic flowers. I chose this image because I saw a picture of a ying/yang sign and we were doing a peace project so I combined a peace sign with a ying/yang sign. I think my art will influence people that if you are a girl or boy, young or old, it is never to late to try and make peace in the world. I learned from this project that even the simplest things you do can make a difference.

I created this art because I wanted it to be an inspiration to people that the world can become a better place and even become new again. The doves because it is allusion to the bible story of Noah and the ark, were the dove is sent to find land and land is found. The planet earth because it is the home to everyone and the land that is found. I wrote the word peace in three different languages because I wanted to point out that peace can’t be found only in the U.S but in other places too.

The materials I used on my project were ribbon, pipe cleaners, little blue marbles/pebbles , some beads, construction paper, paint, twine, straws, a sharpie, and I put across the top “PEACE” I made that out of letters that were on 2 book marks that originally said “READ” and I just made the “R” in “READ” to a “P”. I learned that you can make anything out of anything. I was trying to create an image that shows and kind of expresses all the good stuff in life and nature, out in reusable stuff. I want people to, when they look at my artwork, I want them to see our world and its basic aspects created onto poster board that is trying to represent our world’s tenants by making them out of something rare and reusable. That’s what I want my art to say.

My board shows people holding up a peace sign. Actually only three people are holding it and the other ones are still in position as if they are ready if the other people ever fail to support the peace sign. What I am trying to say with this is we ALL have to work together in order to have world peace. No matter what race, what religion, or what other beliefs we have, EVERYONE should be ready to support the “peace sign” when it needs help. We have to work TOGETHER and COOPERATE so we can have world peace, because we CAN have world peace, it just depends on us to accomplish it. When the world is at peace, not everyone is going to agree, so if someone decides to stop collaborating to world peace, other people should be ready to give a helping hand and try to compromise with others. We HAVE TO work together to accomplish world peace!!!!!

People need to be together and there is no reason for violence. My art consists of different races of hands reaching toward the peace sign (which basically means everyone needs to be together in anything). I used a plastic bag, cardboard, color paper (all recyclable). I think I will impact peoples' minds so that they learn to work together all in one with no violence. I found this project interesting and I learned that if everyone works together, the world will be a better place. I take away from this project that we need to take care of the Earth together and create peace amongst ourselves.

For my peace project I was very anxious to make something out of materials found around the house. I chose to use broken up CDS, paint, fake flowers, plastic butterflies, a butterfly from an old belt, etc. I chose to make this specific image because I wanted peace to be the main focus so I created doves as a sign of peace to be my main focus. The dove is my main focus as so is the words, if you were to take each letter that is missing in the quote you will see that it spells peace. I have leaned that you can make peace by simply creating art and taking it out into the community.

The materials that I used for my project were pebbles, glitter, plastic flowers, confetti, paint, cardboard, paper, and pipes cleaners. The type of image I wanted to create was that joy can give people peace and that beautiful things can to. I chose this image because all of these things that I made is beautiful to me and I also believe that this means peace. I learned from this that peace can mean a lot but the true meaning is what you believe in.

My artwork was created to persuade people to bring peace to the world. I used recycled paper, old plastic flowers,recycled construction paper, old cardboard, and old magazine papers. I made a world and different foods to show that it does not matter where you are from and that you can come together to make a difference. I chose this image because I thought that it would bring people together and help them understand to make a difference in this world. I think that the impact that it has created was that it proved to the people that it does not matter what you are or where you are from, you can always make a tiny difference everyday. I found this experience to be fun and it made me feel that I was making a difference by creating this project. I learned about what a leader is really about and that a lot of famous scientist were really into making a difference.

The materials I used are: scrap-paper, glitter, beads, stickers and foam letters. Some of the images I created were peace signs and flowers to portray peace. I chose these images because they are light and calm. It was fun doing crafts and learning at the same time. I learned that everybody has a different meaning for peace.

For my peace project I chose to draw hands releasing a dove because I believe that a dove is a great symbol for peace. To create the hands I used paper, to create the dove I used paper and holes of paper, to make the letters I used string.
