1. Description of Our Team
Salma, 14 years old, was assigned to do the interview and gather information about the paintings and the lives of the painters. Ofelea, 15 years old, was responsible for collecting information that can be useful in our project. She also provides most of the materials we needed to finish a peculiar task. Michaella, 15 years old, was tasked to compile documents and complete all the details that our group gathered from the interview. Amira, 15 years old, was in charge of proofreading, editing the final output and making the manifestation of our website.
We joined together as a group because we had the same interest in arts and because we were often together in the classroom when it comes to group works, which is why it was not a difficult for us to tell our ideas to one another.
2. Summary of Our Project
Can you deny the fact that once in your life, you tried scribbling on walls? Most often, adults get angry to children who write on anything that they see but as adults, are we supposed to be mad at these young kids whose talents are being developed? Good artist develop their abilities when they are supported in what they wanted to do.
We are artist in our own ways...whether known or kept and as supportive citizens, who love arts, we would like to promote the works of young painters whose talents in painting cannot be questioned. As you go through our website, you will not only see the beautiful art forms of these painters but will also learn how painting can affect one’s life because painting, like any other form of art can be life changing because people can express what they feel. It is an art where you can find your inner confidence that you never knew you acquired. Through painting, you will be able to come across in yourself an enormous awareness of the artistry of nature. Our site, though concentrated on painting as an art form, will also feature how any kind of art will promote unity and diplomacy. It is our dream to inspire budding artist to bring out what they know, their talents and skills so that others will be able to appreciate them as well as to have self – fulfilment. Furthermore, if sharing of talents is done, people will have the opportunity to meet, mingle and be friends with one another.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
We also have some disagreements in our group that we had to overcome. The first one is about the appearance and content of the website. We have a lot of different ideas that we want to put in our website. So to solve our problem, what we did is we asked other people’s opinion on which idea was the best. Another problem is the time. We lacked time which disabled us to do project properly. To overcome this problem, we made use of the time given in school wisely and also looked for a day where we could all meet up and finish the task we failed to accomplish in school.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen” A painting is a visual representation of an artist emotion or feelings. Poetry on the other hand, is a canvass of words that pours out the writer’s emotions to describe a feeling or thought. In other words, paintings are visual thoughts that are used to communicate words or feelings and poetry are words and emotions that create a visual thought.
6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Each of us learned to be more diplomats, which will help us gain more communication skills that will help us in the career that we’ll take up in the future. The project also helped us widen our knowledge about painting.
