War is Over. If You Want It

For my hexagon i used colored pencils. I only used black and white. I chose the topic of war because it is important to me and I think it should be resolved. War is an issue but people keep fighting. My hexagon resembles not only to stop war but to stop any fighting. It could even be a fight with your family or friends. In my picture i drew John Lennon and Yoko Ono because to me they resemble peace. John and Yoko are an inspiration to me and i hope peace can be spread throughout the world.

I really like how it's in black and white, it makes it stand out more! You did a nice job drawing the people too, I can't draw a person for my life! :D good job!

This is amazing! I really like how John and Yoko are so detailed. The shading is really good as always:)

Good job! When I looked at your piece I felt like was a mist around the people causing them to be vague! I loved it!!

I teach middle school art in the suburban Chicago area. This project has allowed my eighth grade students to confront global issues and to have an artistic voice that expresses their concerns and passions that one day just might change the world.

I teach with Emily Cook in a Chicago suburban school. While my students have learned about global issues in the past, this project allowed them to see that these are not problems that people in other places in the world have to deal with, but rather, that these are world problems, and since we all have a civic responsibility to the world, these are our problems too.
