World+Bazaar+(Task+V)

Using your initial research on Fair Trade and your Database to decide what country you will represent in the Bazzar. You are allowed to rep only one country, but you may offer artworks from more than one artist or cooperative. Your group has $250 dollars to invest and purchase crafts from that country to be sold at the market. When deciding on what items to buy, keep in mind the population who will be buying your products*. Find out purchasing information, contact the seller or wholesaler and include this contact and information in your database. Useful information might include ordering address, sales tax, shipping address, shipping and handling, phone number, email, website URL, and sales person name. You will also need item name, description, cost per item, etc…. Provide me with a ready to place order form.

People are affected by personal stories. When people makes connections or find similarities with other people, it brings them closer. To maximize the potential of our bazaar and help viewers understand the art they are seeing we need to help them connect. Create a fictional person situated in the artists group or community. Develop this person by telling his or her story as it relates to the artwork, the artist, the issues and history of that country. Don’t forget to make some element of that person connect or relate to someone who might view our show like a parent, classmate, teacher, or community member. Click to use the **Character Development Template** to help guide and record your research. It is up to the group how you present this character to the viewers and it can be in printed, visual, digital, audio, video form. Please let me know what additional resources or materials you might need.
