Yesterday was the final day of class. Fred gave a lecture about making a statement with your art, and showed his work. He explained how to sign prints, and everyone did so, and hung them up. We took a class photo. Paige, Phil and Odin, as well as Peter, were the guests at the art show. I encouraged them all to be proud. It’s a great collection. I had wanted to show the students the pictures that Phil took, but the rest of the afternoon was overtaken with a TV crew.

Here’s what Ruth eloquently wrote about what she gained from the workshop.
Personal Gains Accrued in this Workshop.
My name is Nakalembe Ruth. I am 17 years old. I have been aspired in different fields depending on the activities done in this workshop. [Previous workshops were in a variety of media.]
To begin with, it is wise wisdom to say Art has got no specific definition depending on the workshop I have attended. I have learnt that you can give Art a formula depending on your expression. Art has no shape but whatever thought of by an artist has shape. You just don’t draw because its fun, but you draw because there is something you would like to expose out to the world.
Depending on this workshop, I can change the world through Art. Art has the best concept of communication. I have learnt how to talk through Art, and this is the best way to create changes since every category can read Art, that is to say, the illiterate as well as the literate. It takes not many paragraphs to communicate. . . . You can change a dream into a reality through Art, and any one can be an artist.
