Day by day, the choices we make are influenced by graphic images that bombard us, from tv and internet

to billboards and movie posters. We have been programmed to react in certain ways to certain images.

Most prevalent of all, are images of violence.

With Today Marks the Beginning, the young ladies

of Irma Lerma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School step out into the community

to give a new spin on INFLUENCE in a positive way.

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.
