Art Piece Story

This is the story of some kids who decided that they want peace and they don't want people to mess it up and don't want war because it is bad.

They don't want violence and crime.

They want peace and harmony and respect.

It's about coming together, forming as one, and forming peace.

The center of the composition holds a peace sign, which is also the earth, which is also the sun. The sun symbolizes the inner glow of the people, plants and animals who live here that do reasonable thing. They respect one another, the earth, the environment, recycling and reusing things that can be.

The art piece is beautiful because it's about us, it's has all the colors of the rainbow, it also has many kinds of transportation. Transportation gives you the means to get to the places where you need to go.

~ Jason wants to be an actor.
~ Heather wants to be an actor, cook, and artist.
~ Richard want to be an athletic trainer.
~ Chris wants to be a singer and a culinary chef.
~ Kyle wants to graduate from school and get a job in construction. He likes working outdoors and would work outside in any weather.
~ Dustin has not planned ahead that far.
~ Mike wants to work at Nintendo and test games and play them.
~ Hope wants to take pictures with a camera.
~ Joseph wants to be a comedian.
~ Killan want to be an NBA announcer.
~ Erica wants to get a job cooking.
~ Stephen wants to take pictures and travel.
~ Khristin & Marie want to travel all over the world.
~ Debbie wants to be a famous piano player.
~ Justin wants to be a Backstreet Boy.
~ Jessica wants to help people be happy.
~ Danaka wants to be a paraleagle.
~ Jenny wants to be a nurse.
~ Melissa wants to study law and nursing.
~ Allison want to study nursing.
~ Crystal want to go into travel tourism.
~ Michael wants to be a power-ranger, to help people.
~ Sareay wants to dance.
~ And Heather wants to party.

Transportation symbolizes where we're going to go in the future and how we're going to get there.
It's remarkable in a certain way as it's all one, piecing the parts together. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
