Student Artwork Inspired by MLK’s Six Principles of Nonviolence

MHC invites you to visit the Walters Art Museum to view an exhibition of art by Maryland students, based on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Six Principles of Nonviolence.

Principle One: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people
Principle Two: Nonviolence seeks to wind friendship and understand
Principle Three: Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice not people
Principle Four: Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform
Principle Five: Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate
Principle Six: Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice

This juried show includes the artists’ words describing how the ideas of nonviolence are depicted in their work. Their dreams and hopes for the future are clearly articulated by through their words and their art.

The project was sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education in coordination with the Maryland Humanities Council’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Remembrance and Reconciliation initiative. You can also view the artwork on MHC’s website.

We are particularly indebted to Mr. Mark Coates, Instructional Facilitator for Visual Arts, the Howard County Public Schools for providing overall planning and graphic support and for serving as liaison with the Maryland Art Education Association.

    Currently it seems like BlogEngine will be the finest blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
