About Master-Peace 2000
Over 500 students participated in Master-Peace 2000, an art project focusing on what
we’ve learned in the last 1000 years. They explored everything from The Crusades to
Slavery, from Genghis Khan to Shakespeare, and from the printing press to the Exxon
Valdez. Their drawings and essays were the building blocks for ten murals created using
Internet technology in the studio of artist Xavier Cortada. Students communicated with him
via live chat rooms and webcams. The completed murals will be permanently installed in
each school.
Visit the interactive website at www.master-peace.org/mp2k
to see their work and to post your message on any of ten discussion forums focusing on
each of the past ten centuries.
