I think it's a beautiful way to preserve LGBTQ+ history and remind everyone of the value of people regardless of their sexual orientation.]]> 2021-08-16 21:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1681050842 https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1681071761 This is an organization the my robotics mentor's wife works with to create quilts that will go to veterans. I think this act of kindness is a great combination of art and positive change because it provides comfort, love and healing for veterans.]]> 2021-08-16 22:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1681071761 https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1681076479 The Houston Pride Wall is an example of a step towards positive change because it encourages LGBTQ+ individuals to be proud of their identity.]]> 2021-08-16 22:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1681076479 https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1689591860 Young artists have painted the famous trams of Gothenburg, Sweden using the colors of the rainbow. The project is called “Proud Trams” and has become a reminder that everyone is welcome in Gothenburg. I think this is a great example of art for positive change because young artists were able to utilize the symbol of the city, using art, to show that diversity is something to celebrate.

The piece was created to send a message about how bad straws are for the environment and force people to see just how many we use. I love the use of art to inspire change in this case because by using straws to create such a big installation, the message simply cannot be ignored. ]]> 2021-08-22 16:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1689597412 https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1689602565 This piece of art is a laser show where artist, Dean Roosegaarde, has used lights to pin point space junk in the sky. I think this a great example of art for change because it brings awareness to a problem most people don’t even realize is there. ]]> 2021-08-22 16:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz13/i2l0afnlk2dk/wish/1689602565
