Amendment #3 for resolution 21.5 The North Star Project (Contract #2023-00000317, BOE Approved 10/19/22-BOCS Approved 10/27/22) to increase the contract by $25,000 to be able to provide consulting services for the upcoming Bilingual Summer Academy at Hostos. The students will use digital art as a forum to respond to the constantly changing society around them by using the Digital Art Software Pixlr.com to create original artwork. They will use saturation, coloration, texturization and font tools to layer on an image of the American flag and an image or images that they would like to see America stand for. They then will write an original My America poem to be overlaid using the text tools on their actual artwork.
