Before I returned to the classroom, Mr. Ferre helped them solidify their complaints and practice English skills through an awesome worksheet he created. By the time I came back, they had researched their topics and were ready to create art! I brought in amazing examples of artworks made about important issues, and then we set them loose! They had a lot of freedom, and we helped as needed. They used varying mediums, including video, digital art, collage, and drawing. They were so excited about their projects that they are still working on finishing them!
I loved this project so much- this has been my favorite lesson I have taught so far! It has been incredible to see the students get so excited about their artworks, and I think a key factor in that has been showing them what is possible and then allowing them to try. They are creative, intelligent people who have a lot to offer the world, and sometimes as adults we forget that!
