For this project I was tasked with creating a series of 3 posters, 5 Instagram posts, and 5 post cards. I took inspiration from the art movements of Constructivism, Dada, and Bauhaus. I was also inspired by the architecture, murals, and paintings inside the Nebraska State Capitol. this project was created to inspire Nebraskans to dream big! I want to show them that just because your from Nebraska doesn't mean you can't do amazing things. So I focused my project on Nebraskans who have impacted the world and are worthy of honor.
- Malcolm X inspired people with his words and actions during the civil rights era. He was one of the main leaders of the movement and helped people of color. He also was an advocate for Islam.
- Willa Cather inspired people with her writing about prairie life. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 1923.
- Standing Bear inspired his own people to fight for their land and rights. He was one of the leaders for Native American rights and fought against the United States government.
These three Nebraskans were very different but they exemplified the value and morals of Nebraskans. Including fortitude, curiosity, honor, truth, compassion, determination, Resilience.
