Art speaks and is able to reach all kinds of people. We are starting off the school year on two collaborative art projects that promote peace - Pinwheels for Peace and a My Two Hands bulletin board. The essential question I asked students to consider was the following.
EQ: How can Art help make the world a more peaceful or better place?
The purpose and ideas behind each art project will thoughtfully include the community and/or encourage collaboration within our school. We will also be exploring and analyzing artists and how their works of art were used to communicate and spread world peace. Artists that we may discuss in class could include:
1) Pablo Picasso, Guernica
2) Norman Rockwell, We the Peoples & Golden Rule
3) My Two Hands (song) written by Ben Harper & collaboration with Jack Johnson
Look for the students personalized works of art to be exhibited in the near future.
