Clara Wu (12) created this poster for Mr. Mosher's Computer Art class during this period of social distancing and online learning. Students were told to look up work by the artist Shepard Fairey for inspiration. "I thought of vintage propaganda posters so I searched for those," Wu said. "I came across posters that had a color theme and used stripes to lead my eye to the focal point of the pieces. I thought to do something relevant to what is happening now and used the related colors of the American flag." Art courtesy of Clara Wu 2020.

Title: Under the Sky Caption: 150 years ago, the first generation of Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii in hopes of finding a better life. From there, they spread their culture to help shape Hawaii into a unique and special place to those who live there and to those who visit. In this picture, people of different families, different cultures, and different lives are all there to simply enjoy the festivities. Some go to dance, to eat, or for the obon service, yet everyone is gathered under one sky in one night to enjoy the Japanese tradition of Bon Dance. Photo by Kiana Ejercito (10).
