Start Seeing Diversity Blog: Creating Art

The picture I decided to make for this representation was of a flower garden.  The flowers represent people.  The soil is the foundation that has been laid by the family the child has grown up with.  This foundation has created a foundation for the roots that the child has to fall back on and navigate the world.  These will dictate how the child reacts to flood or drought.  The different flowers represent how depending on what goes into the child the flower is unique.  All of the flowers are close, or in the same community, but they have each experienced unique soil, rain, sun, diseases, etc.  The different experiences have caused a different flower to blossom.  The lightning represents trauma, and the bee represents the passing experiences that may only fly by in an instant but causes a lasting impact.  There is so much that can be interpreted from this picture.  What do you see that can represent what we have learned so far in this course?
