has everyone seen the google doodle for today--student winner's artwork

Doodle 4 Google student winner’s artwork imagines a world of peaceful acceptance
By Michael Cavna March 31 at 1:09 PM

GOOGLE ASKED young artists to consider the concept, “What I see for the future…” And for Connecticut high schooler Sarah Harrison, that horizon line includes peace.

This afternoon, Harrison’s “A Peaceful Future” is being named as the winning art in the national Doodle 4 Google student contest — and appears on the Google home page. Harrison rendered eight young people as symbols of diverse experience — six of whom spell out “Google.”

Reacting to her win, Harrison said in a statement: “When I started, I was thinking of how there’s a lot of animosity toward diverse communities of people in the world right now. So I wanted to draw something that I hoped would show that we can all get along well, and that it’s possible for us to be happy with each other.”

The Bunnell High School student added: “You don’t know what they’ve been through — and they don’t know what you’ve been through — so we all deserve respect from each other.”

Would that it actually reflected reality though.

Unfortunately, divide-and-conquer has worked all too well.

They had the artwork divided into age groups, and that was one the works I voted for! There were lots of really good choices, too.

I loved that. It really touched me that she put a person with a wheelchair and another with crutches on either side of the gang, just like bookends. I'm so proud of our young folks!
