"The Art of Poverty" is a project designed by Felicia Brooks to care for the poor through an artistic masterpiece based on timely provision through art education. The Art of Poverty is an interactive painted sculpture in watercolor on wood with symbolic elements like gold (wealth/ value), water with minerals (basic necessity), and LED lights (power/illumination). The interactive work of art includes a coded tablet with an interactive Makey Makey and Microbit components.
