| dc.description | ‘’Mobile education’ is a reminder of the days gone where children in rural areas whose parents had livestock were forced to go to herd cows instead of going to school. This was and still a common practice in many parts of Uganda. Children from these backgrounds who were interested in education would go to herd the family animals with their books and read from the pasture fields they cared for the animals. In this particular painting, the artist uses different hues of brown lightened with different tons of white to create and achieve a sense of a rural setting in which many communities live. He dramatically presents a herd of cows in a diagonal composition. The cows from the far upper left hand corner of the painting appear bigger than those at the lower right hand part of the painting. At the end of the right hand corner of the painting, stands a herdsman/boy with holding a stick on shoulder while his left hand holds the reading materials. The herdsman/boy is presented as on the move, but psychologically the man heading to an unknown destination and is consumed by the big burden of herding the animals. | en_US |
