Assignment 4 Week 5

I went onto the online website of Artist Profile which is a magazine based in Australia. I found a really cool article about how famous indigenous artists are painting artwork on interesting new canvases. These artists are painting on wii consoles to help raise money and awareness for the indigenous youth to go to school. Apparently for a long time, indigenous students had a very high dropout rate in Australian university schools. When the consoles are bought, all of the proceeds go to a scholarship fund that helps indigenous students stay in school and get a good education. Already the dropout rate has dropped significantly. It says also that this fund aides to close the wide gap between indigenous people and non indigenous people in Australia.
