International school of Uganda students Tamara Rode excites me!!
I was Glad to be invited by international school of Uganda(ISU) Located along Entebbe Road -Lubowa for the students art exhibition ,it was so  wonderful to meet an Artist by the name of Tamara Rode she uses Art to address water issues ,Economic and social issues in the community.  I was impressed  by her  beautiful  colors, titles and her  themes are so educative and catching ,especially  my favorite was  the water scarcity which reminds me of  the Scarcity of water  in my community  where  I live. see the link of water problems in Uganda

  The gay bill in Uganda  raised so many questions and answers  in the country(Uganda)  in this show the Art work titled the Gay Bill attracted a lot of attention from  the viewers including students and  other Art lovers.
I Thank  the  Art Teacher Mr. Bogart Pascal for nurturing the talents of  these Young children.

Project Number3
For the Vast majority of residence in Uganda clean water is scarce and precious ,only 17%have piped water. Although, water is essential  for the survival ,for personal hygiene ,for the growing of crops  and for simple consumption it appears to be a luxury. with this piece I wanted to emphasize the importance  of clean water and its value. The woman in painting  is wearing a necklace  made out of water drops with pride, as if it would be made out of Diamond.

Project Number 10

Project Title: Big Fish

This painting critics ethics in business. this surrealistic painting of a fish in a suit inspired by the failure to prosecute the promoters of corruption in Uganda .The Figure speech  "letting the big fish swim" means to not act against the the inequality and letting the high rank individuals abuse their power for personal again. For the background I used soft pastel and water to create a flowing  effect. Then I utilized water colours  for  the head of the fish and acrylic paint for the suite.
