5th, 6th, 7th & 8th grade students have been exploring art's role in the history of protest. For this project, students were required to pick an issue important to them, and write a poem that expressed their views. Students used the words from these poems to create "protest portraits", mixing their face with their ideas. Students wrote about and explored various protests in both their ELA and Social Studies classes to prepare for this project.
Next week on report card pickup day, Wednesday, November 9th, there will be an art contest outside of the art studio! Parents and students who visit the art room will be welcome to vote for their favorite "Protest Portrait". One winner will be selected from each middle school grade. Read about the project and look at the pictures below for a sneak peak! 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th grade students have been exploring art's role in the history of protest.
