Hi!

My name is Shiraz, and I'm an 18 years old girl from Israel.

I'm doing an art project for the end of the year exhibition in my school, and it would be wonderful if you could help me!

My project talks about the world, the people, and the things that connect us all. It talks about how we can live together instead of fight each other, and it's main message is hope for a better future.

My exhibition will be made from many different things. I'm going to draw scenes of iconic events when “regular people” protested against wars, I'm going to paint in a special way all the continents, and I'm going to present artwork of young people (10-20 years old) from all around the world.

This is what I need your help for: if you agree, it would be awesome if you could draw or paint something around the following idea: a hope or dream you have for the future, preferably presented in a way that is close to your heart. For example, you can draw something that is about yourself, your family or your country, and add to that what you hope to see or to be in the future. It can be a personal dream, something about the whole world, or really anything you want :)

On your drawing please write your name (you can leave it out if you prefer to), your age, and the name of your country, both in English and in your language. You can also add a paragraph of your own choice.

My intention is to give representation to different people and cultures, and to show how after all, despite all the differences, we all want the world to become better, for everybody.

You don't have to be a great painter. It would be totally fine if you will just draw stickmen :)

If you want to participate but really prefer not to draw, you can also send a handwritten letter, both in English and in your language.

If you want to participate - awesome! Thank you so so much! And if you know someone else who might want to participate as well - that's even better!

Take your time to think about an idea and draw it, and then scan it in a good quality and send it to me by mail: [I removed my sister's email as of now, do you have any way we can contact without everyone being able to see it?. The deadline is May 16. Of course I will send you pictures of the finished exhibition (May 26).

If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

I hope that we will be able to create something beautiful together!

Thank you very very much!

Shiraz
