Where the Rainbow Ends by Richard Rive

Rock for World Peace has it's first meeting! WE had a great time. First we read this poem:
"Where The Rainbow Ends

Where the rainbow ends
There's going to be a place, brother,
Where the world can sing all sorts of songs,
And we're going to sing together, brother,
You and I, though you're white, and I'm not.
It's going to be a sad song, brother,
Because we don't know the tune,
And it's a difficult tune to learn.
But we can learn, brother, you and I.
There's no such tune as a black tune.
There's no such tune as a white tune.
There's only music, brother,
And it's music we're going to sing
Where the rainbow ends."

-Richard Rive
Next we discussed how art is usually made in response to something. In this project we created nature installations in response to this poem by Richard Rive. We created three stand alone pieces in the woods behind the school We used a protocol called the "The Intelligent Eye" to evaluate our work. Using I-Movie and Adobe Photoshop, intend to make litle mini-documentaries about this work.
