Painting inspired by collaboration with Rydings College in Zimbabwe. Our students have been learning about alternate energy sources and will travel to Zimbabwe in the near future for a transatlantic educational experience. At Booker T. Washington, we are eagerly anticipating a statue of Booker T, a community garden to deal with food insecurity in the surrounding area and wind turbines to light up the football fields and community garden at night. I am excited about using art to elevate the conversation of food insecurity. In particular, I am excited about the opportunity to utilize my creativity to build an art classroom in Zimbabwe and empower children around the world.- Maya Imani Watson

What was the inspiration behind your art?

11,000 meals were packed in just one Saturday morning event---I am inspired by that and how together we can do so much to combat hunger!

Crop Circles - Reflections.
Here's a reflection activity I recently did with students adapted from the '30 Circles' ideation process.

At the start of the day, students were asked to draw what they thought of when they heard the word 'agriculture.' After a full day session, they were then asked the same question again.

You can see the shift in mindset from literal to abstract, product to process and local to global, with topics such as water scarcity, technology, hunger and food security explored.

The Principle of the Cycle.  By sharing the seeds of a plant, we can spread love, and the music of the growth cycle.

1. What fruit or vegetable would you like to share?

2. How would you share the seeds?

3. With whom will you share them?

Aloha

What attracted me, the name,

the orange and yellow stripes

recalling the warmth of the Islands.

There was treasure therein.

Crisp, crunchy sweetness

and one more,

a garden to share with friends,

to grow my own.

A seed of aloha.
