Discussion 13

I believe in an inclusive society where, regardless of personal differences, people learn, develop, collaborate, and feel a sense of belonging together. I created this work of art and I am thankful for the knowledge acquired throughout GWS 100 because it has helped me in understanding how my perception of others and how I am perceived by others shapes and structures the world in which we live. Additionally, I gained an understanding of how crucial it is to understand each person’s unique experience and shared creativity before passing judgment on them.

I drew a picture of myself using different tools available in my home, construction paper, erasers, colored pencils, and crayons to explain the beauty of diversity and activism. This painting depicts a woman wearing a colored blouse to symbolize people from all different racial and ethnic backgrounds that project equality, equity, love, unity, and oneness yet are underrepresented.
