An online art auction of student work from Art 131, Spring
Term 2012 (Instructed by Gabriella Soraci), will be held to help the charity
group RandomActs.org in raising funds to build a children's center/orphanage in
Haiti this summer.
“The goal (for the Final Project) is to understand how we
can use the visual language of drawing to effectively communicating our
thoughts, feelings, and ideas. The ongoing effort to help the people of Haiti
rebuild from the 2010 earthquake will be our chosen subject to respond to. At
the end of the project the drawings will be collected by a volunteer with the
non-profit charity group, Random Acts.org, for an online auction. The proceeds
of which will go to help build an orphanage/child center in Haiti this
summer.... Learning how to gather and filter information and make wise visual
choices is part of learning to think critically and is a large part of the
project. "
Please see the Live Journal website for more details.
