War on Terror

This was completed in the same 8th grade art class on March 3, 2003, so shortly after the war on terror was officially announced in the newspapers. I had become obsessed with everything following September 11, 2001. Every square inch of the walls in my room were covered with newspaper clippings starting from the morning after the towers were hit, and I was constantly adding to them. I religiously read the newspaper everyday at school and was clipping articles and pictures all the time. The medium for this piece is oil paint and newspaper, it's 18" x 11.5", and I won 2nd place in a community college art show.
