Art students joined 16 other groups from around the world to invest time into the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our group was assigned to goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. We were tasked with addressing our goal and it's many targets, and we naturally chose art as a means to raise awareness. Student illustrations were responses to reading and discussion of issues such as gun violence, abuse, trafficking, corruption, legal identity, and equal justice under the law. They learned and practiced contour drawings, continuous line drawings, skin tones, acrylic transfers, and more. Their final composition includes elements of their lessons. The central figure heads with a unified body represent the people with thought bubbles about relevant issues. The flanking figures are puppeteers who control their thoughts just as they control the law-making institutions.
