Student Name: Rylan Wakim School: Oswego East Grade: 9 Class: Pottery 1 UN Sustainable Development Goal: Reduced Inequalities Brief Artist Statement: The main idea behind my artwork is equality (racial equality). I do not have a personal connection to this idea, however I believe it is important because everybody should have a world to live on with fair rights. It shouldn’t matter what the color of your skin is. Everyone should be treated equally. I want the audience to understand my topic thoroughly. I would like them to feel the urge to make a difference. On my artwork I designed a globe, this represents equality throughout the world. I also wrote in bold letters the word “EQUAL”. I want the audience to learn to make a difference and al people should be treated with respect and equality.
