1 Day 16 Eye motif De VIA 28 Day Challenge Kat Brockway "Power Eyes" Art studio on ipad Description: red is hot. Red is alertness. My eyes have power in them. Eyes are the strong part of my body that most Deaf individuals rely on and uses like myself. I must open my eyes to see and alert myself to power-fix and solve the problems quickly! (Note: if Deaf-blind, nose and hands are power tools. (Hope I am right!) )

12 Tiffany Slieff "Connection" Mixed Media 5 feet by 4 feet Fall 2010 Description: This, my most favorite, artwork was taken in Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD, back in 2010 that I would love to share it with you. Its theme is Maximalism, and four challenges I had to meet: atmosphere, focal point, scale dimension, and vertical shapes. To meet one of Maximalism criteria is not to draw something realistically but an abstract. However, this artwork has two stories, and successfully, the eye is the focal point my classmates agreed to identify quickly. First of all, it is very emotional to watch people struggling to open my eye with their key without realizing that the keyhole is upside down. The projector toward my eye keyhole is coming from the time clock, and the time clock represents my lifetime. As well, my birth time clock is next to the projector, and the bigger time clock is for ever after the lifetime. Meanwhile, I don't know where I belong to but inside of my own circle-shaped cocoon, which represents ambiversion (circle symbolizes a social/extrovert, and cocoon is on the opposite as an introvert.) The struggle has been gone for years by trying to prevent people from getting rid of my extraversion in a blind and mysterious way, one of water symbolisms, until the big strip background brings the spot. The spot is where the very left person with a strip shoulder on it to inform me that he/she understands the deafness, and joyfully, he/she figured strategically to open my eye! The mask screens get break off glowingly to show my joyful tear, and the purple rope no longer strangles my true color. At final, I am finally able to feel how extrovert I am once again, so I can discover my own hope of happiness (yellow and butterfly symbolism). Again, this moment is known as a second emotion, a second story but in a very good way.

13 Jason JT Tozier "In the Blink of an Eye: ASL Prevails color pencils. Description: He remembers taking a Psychology course and the teacher had him to watch Jane Elliott's most famous work called "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise. He learns during the film, it was showing several participants as inferior or superior based on their eye eyes (Blue and Brown only) and shows that the exercise of being a minority. In his drawing, it shows that Deaf people are sight-oriented and language minority. They perceive America around us by what we see through American Sign Language (ASL). Blue and Brown eyes are the reward for ASL. They should not sent to a principal's office for not learning how to listen or talk. ASL was recognized in 1965, 50 years later, Deaf children around oral schools are still having horrible experience and their education did not matter, their individualistic skills in hearing and speaking did.
