It seems as though that knowing everyone around the small communities was what made a person successful in life. Additionally, these communities valued hard-work and honesty when it came with almost everything they did in their lives; whether it was working in the farmlands or spreading information throughout the communities about certain people to look out for, it was hard to be anonymous inside the city. Unfortunately, there are sometimes citizens that do not look forward to that kind of lifestyle.…

    When I am dreaming, I sometimes am not sure if I am awake or dreaming, but when I am awake I know I am not dreaming. In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life.

    We will be exploring the theme of “Childhood Dreams” through various mediums of art. Each piece in the exhibit has been chosen to represent the theme and provide a profound experience. Our personal childhood may be far from our mind, as many of us no longer have the time to think about it as we rush through our everyday lives. Perhaps some of us have forgotten our childhood dreams; or maybe some of us are living them, but have forgotten the thrill we once found in them.
