ART & WRITING CHALLENGE
______________________________
Topic:
Nelson Mandela said, "A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of" and Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Through our scientific genius we have made of the world a neighborhood; now through our moral and spiritual genius we must make of it a brotherhood."
Let us consider the ways we can work together to celebrate the diversity of our world. Mr. Mandela speaks of "community" and Dr. King speaks of "neighborhood" and "brotherhood." Using your unique, artistic voice, create a visual and/or literary interpretation of diversity, multiculturalism, community, or brotherhood.
Ideas to Consider:
Think about ways of bringing people together. Remember a time you experienced a new culture, became friends with someone different from you, or challenged a stereotype.
