Assemblage

"Assemblage" is the 3-D version of "collage”. "Found object fragments," "discards," or "throwaways" (artist's work to look at: Schwitters, Cornell, Rauschenberg, Bearden, etc.).


These things are organized by their specific elements. The resulting groups are then arranged into compositions of art.


Extending to many cultures of people living in family, religious, work, and various other groups; We could be viewed as a complex living version of "assemblage”(Webster 1. a group of persons or things gathered or collected).


We have “found” each other by chance; either by blood, common goals, or a certain chemistry. These connections help to formulate new ideas, innovations, and even new generations. John Anderson

Climate Change and School Segregation

For the sake of the future of our world-wide civilizations, world peace, the preservation and protection of the environment, and our American Democracy (or whatever type of government that enables equality, and the optimum potential for all people); we must work together with intelligent, rational thought to synthesize the best ideas, efforts, and actions to save our home (planet earth) from the real threat of uninhabitability. Therefore education for every child is paramount.  jha

The following article describes the extreme difficulties in public education due to obstacles of race relations, economics, and test score levels. If there could ever be a breakthrough into the potential of the human mind; it has to be through a good public education system. A system blind to any and all obstacles. Jha

Parents want their children to attend schools close to home.
Fact: “Good” and “bad” parents will always exist; like teachers and other professionals.
The movement of children across the district has success and failure; but no mention of the movement of teachers and administrators. jha
