Basketball teacher interview- summary of what he said: Putin has the power to cause a war, even though most Russians disagree. And Russians are not rich so they earn money by being in the army. If members from the Russian army do not act by their president’s orders, they might go to jail.

I interviewed him because he is from Ukraine. -Jiyu

How can art affect wars?

-After wars have ended, art has been used to raise funds for soldiers injured in wars

-Art has also been used to provide relief to refugees displaced from them.

-to change the perspective of people who are rooting with the war

Why was art created? Who created art? When? How?
If art had a single inventor, she or he was an African who lived more than 70,000 years ago. That is the age of the oldest work of art in the world, a piece of soft red stone that someone scratched lines on in a place called Blombos Cave.

The first modern artist-Édouard Manet

Ukrainians,

Belorussians

Chapter, Empire building, page 22-

Around 1600 to 1900, Russia grew 130 square kilometer daily. Having no barriers around the east and west, Russia was continuously being attacked throughout history. Before Russia expanded its frontiers, it gained lots of strength. Mostly because they wanted to protect their vulnerable land. Around the end of the 18th century, Siberia, western Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland and Tarar Crimea were all included in Russia. After a few years, Finland eventually joined and the first half of the 19th century, Caucasus’ small countries like Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Also, huge parts of Central Asia were added to the empire.

Chapter, Runaway serfs, page 23-

The first Cossacks were Runaway serfs, forming frontier settlements in the south of Russia and Ukraine. To begin with, Cossacks were against the authorities of Russia but by the 19th century, they change their community into lush rural settlements and were really loyal to the tsar.

1. Have you heard about the Ukraine and Russian war?

Yes. I certainly have.

2.if you have who do you support(both, Ukraine, Russia or neither.

I don’t support war. There can be no winner. Both the countries stand to lose.

3. Do you think art can help

It certainly can. Art is good way to get your mind off the feeling of sadness and grief. When two countries are at war, many people are going to lose someone dear to them. There will be a feeling of loss and grief that will overwhelm so many.

4. If yes how

When people draw or colour, words are not needed. There’s a connection between the head, the heart, and the hand which helps them express their feelings. Art helps people to put those emotions outside, so they can see their experience from a different perspective, making things clearer and giving them distance. Art gives children a sense of control and allows them to tell their story over and over again so they can let go and make sense of it. It is an important coping skill that can serve them for the rest of their lives.

5. Does it matter to you who wins and why

No. In my opinion, both are losers

6. If it matters who do you hope wins this war

How does he feel about the war:

I feel that a lot of precious life’s are being lost unnecessarily (on the war field and indirectly all over the world).

What does he know about the war:

The war started because of Russia’s insecurity with NATO and ego. I think the Ukraine has a right to decide the path for itself as a sovereign country, Although both the countries could have made an effort to resolve thinks amicably. Although, Russia thought it could win this war very quickly, but Ukraine has shown strong resilience supported Allie’s from the west. As any war would have it it has left behind a lot of destruction and misery for the citizens of Ukraine and Russia.

If he thinks Art can affect the war, if yes or no, why:

Art can take the form of music, paintings, drama, and any other form that brings out emotions from people all over the world.  Art can also help in raising funds for the soldiers recoveries. People can make concerted efforts to draw attention of global leaders that this war is not helping anyone and the only path forward is constructive dialogue(meaningful discussion).

How is this war similar and different from other wars:

Similar: Deployment of foot soldiers (army), war tanks, accusations,polarization (division into groups), war going out of control, blood shed, families suffering, and kids getting orphaned

Differences: Economic sanctions(isolation), impacts on energy prices, pressure on developing and weaker nations, hyper inflation(because of crude prices).
