Spring Quarter Activities - Week Four

The assignment for next week (due Wednesday, May 3) is for you to develop a visual response (two-dimensional or three-dimensional) to the issue of the internment of Japanese and Japanese-American citizens. Please do some serious thinking about what it means to incarcerate someone on the basis of national origin, and how the "mob mind" can cause people to act in ways that thinking and compassionate individual members of that very same "mob" would abhor. Bring your response to seminar and be prepared to discuss it.
