We Still Dream for San Francisco

This morning, in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., ZeumMasters, Team Leaders, Ari, Irina and David shared dreams for San Francisco...read on...

I have a DREAM that everyone, especially children, can receive the same quality of education, despite age, race, color, religion or beliefs. Starting with teachers passionate about what they do. With that DREAM, parents and children forced to believe that they are incapable of moving up in this jaded society and a social class system that they think still exists, will be more aware of events and issues that aren't happening in SF but also around the world. Education is where it all be
gins.

The city and California need more funding for you
th activities to keep them off the streets.

I want San Francisco to be a place that is affordable, safe and welcoming for everyone.

MY DREAM = clean planet, peaceful earth, friendly people.

I HAD a dream that there would be less violence in San Francisco.

I have a dream that racism never existed. I have a dream that you wouldn't get killed by the color of your skin or your race. I have a dream where if you say you're not someone, you wouldn't get shot for mistaken identity. I have a dream to live in a peaceful world where there is no violence, guns, knives, killings and where we all get along. I have a dream where the economy would never be bad so everyone has a chance for employment and education...R.I.P. MLK, Josh and G-l...If we lived in a world without racism, y'all would be with us and not dead because of your race.

I have a dream that just as many people of color will live in pacific heights as white people and that people will not have reason to think of certain other neighborhoods as dangerous. I have a dream that San Francisco will pave the way for equality in as many ways as we can continue to dream of.

I have a dream that the economic crisis will end so that there will be no poor or homeless people, that everyone will have a job and be productive in the community.

What's your dream?

ZeumMasters Silk Screen!

Heyyyyyyyy my name is Dayana and today we went on a really cool field trip. You ask where? Well i shall tell you. We did silk screening in the mission. It was a lot of fun.

We had been working on them for a while. We first started out with nothing. You could use any image you wanted. You could draw an image or you could pull one of the net. only if it was not copyrighted. So i decided to use some pictures i took at a concert i went to. The concert i went to was called SassyBack Tour with Cobra Starship, Forever The Sickest Kids, Hit The Lights, and Sing It Loud. The pictures i used were of Kyle&Austin from Forever The Sickest Kids. At first i was debating who's picture to use, either Kyle or Austin but then David saved the day and help me put both of the pictures together. After working on our pictures we finally got them printed onto our screens.



Today was the day we went to go print our images on paper. It was really fun - first we had to put ink on the screen. Then somebody would hold it down for you as you spread the ink with the squeegee. Once you spread it with your squeegee you can either add a little more ink and do it again or you can wash it and play with some "fake under painting". At first I just played around with just regular white paper. It was pretty cool how the picture came out. But after I played around with the white paper. I printed on red and yellow paper.The pictures came out good and all I can say is I had a lot of fun and learned so many new things :)
