American Icons & Resources Response

Part 1: Icons
The two things I chose to link to my icon were Africa and Jason Russell and Laren Poole. The reason I chose these two things is because they both play a strong role in my artist statement. These are both connected by the African war; the two men are the creators of Invisible Children while Africa is the actual location Dan Eldon lived. The only way these two topics are different is that Jason Russell and Laren Poole don’t live in Africa where they are trying to help stop the war.

Part 2: Resources
Websites I used to help me:

Resource: Website and an article on website
Description/Explanation: This website was helpful to me because it helped teach me more about what Dan Eldon inspired, it also was where I first heard about him and how I learned more about Jason Russell and Laren Poole.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Eldon
Resource: Website
Description/Explanation: This website was helpful to me because this is where I got most of my information on Dan Eldon and who he really is.
