Artist Are Changing The World. KONY2012

No matter what the media, art can & is making a major impact on the world. 


Many of you may already be familiar with the viral video KONY 2012 (if not follow the link). The KONY 2012 Project, for non-profit organization Invisible Children, is a prime example of how art can effect us emotionally. In fact, almost the entire KONY2012 movement is art based. Using social & visual media's to make Joseph Kony infamous.


Why, because when everyone know's who you are, you can't hide. We American's are very familiar with what even 15 minuets of national recognition can do. 


Another reason...to TAKE BACK MEDIA from big corporations and politicians and shine a light on what WE THE PEOPLE truly care about. To make News that is truly News worthy.


I will keep this short..but I URGE you to watch the KONY 2012 movie and do your research to make your own decision. 


If you find this of importance to you, think about how you can use your UNIQUE ARTISTIC VOICE to make a difference.


See you on the streets April 20th.


No child deserves to live in fear of abduction.
No child should be enslaved.
No child should be sexually assaulted.
No child should be forced to kill.


JOSEPH KONY MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE

Spreading the LOVE

I volunteer at my sons school once a week teaching art to his 2nd grade class. It is an interesting experience for me as an art teacher, to see what the younger students view of creativity is and see what they can handle. Trust me it is not always easy getting 30, eight year olds to pay attention, especially with more intricate instructions.

Are you an artist and or parent who gives back? How do you volunteer your talents to better your community....?? Any tips from you guys out there who volunteer regularly?
