The students in the Media Arts program at Jean Augustine Secondary School, were inspired by the politically charged work of artist and activist Shepard Fairey. Students chose a Black, Indigenous or Racialized Canadian activist, advocate or leader they found inspiring, conducted research, and created digital art that highlighted their message and image: I chose to celebrate the Honourable Navdeep Bains in my piece because I wanted to choose someone who follows the same religion as myself. I felt connected to him because he has similar beliefs as I do and had similar experiences growing up as a child with immigrant parents, and following Sikhism. While researching, and learning more information about him it made me reflect and become proud in a way as well. He’s accomplished so many things in his life and I wanted to celebrate his role as the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry using visual imagery such as the Loonie, which is uniquely Canadian. As the Finance Minister, he is dedicated to growing our economy and creating jobs which is extremely important for our country. The loonie represents that about him, and I think it really ties in the image together.
