Our daughter won the Catholic Campaign for Human Development art contest dubbed as "A Time to Heal Racism". As a grand prize winner, she received an all-paid ($325.00) one-week Summer Camp in Camp Bosco. It's a great learning opportunity but we couldn't send her alone to participate in the said summer camp. She was scared to attend alone. It's one of those fears she has, being far from us and not knowing the people she is going to interact with. We were also worried about it so we didn't force her to attend.
Aside from the art, they were also asked to write an essay for this contest. I will update this with her original content. to explain her entry further. To some it might just look like different shapes of cut out art paper but there's a reasoning behind it. The different colors represents the skin colors of different races working together towards unity and peace. I think if we put some compassion into our hearts, the world would be a much better place to live.
That artwork is really special.I love that piece and it really sends a message. It is great when our kids achieve in arts or other ways.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing! Congrats to your daughter. She created such a neat piece.
ReplyDeleteIt is absoultely wondeful to see kids get involved in the arts. They are too many times that the arts get cheated and it is not fair. I love to see creativity.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's quite an honor. I was the same way as a kid, but now I regret not taking opportunities to grow. (REna)
ReplyDeleteThat's incredible! What a beautiful piece and the thought and meaning behind it are even better. Congrats to her!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I love mosaics. It's a shame she won't get it back, you'll have to have her make another for you!
ReplyDeleteOh wow well done to your daughter on her win and what a beautiful image she came up with. It's a shame she won't be able to keep it herself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic tile piece! I love that the colors represent the various colors of people. I hope the new generation has what it takes to heal this planet and end the ugliness of racism.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Rylie. I love your work. I would buy notecards with this design on front so....
ReplyDeleteI love it! Totally abstract yet has TONS of defined meaning!

ReplyDeleteHer artwork is really beautiful and I love the message behind it. Congrats on her win. It's a well deserved one, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love her art project! I hope that someone else got the camp scholarship since she wasn't interested in going. I don't think my kids would choose to go either in the same circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing and her artwork is so beautiful! Most importantly, I love the message behind it. Congratulations to her for winning!
