Peace Inspired Artwork

Students in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades created artwork about peace. Students looked at Picasso's "Guernica" which depicts war. Then they compared that artwork with his "Dove of Peace." Students discussed peace symbols. (Holding up 2 fingers, the peace sign, the peace dove). Students discussed what peace means to them. Then they read "The Golden Rule" by Ilene Cooper and wrote what could make our world more peaceful. Students created this peace inspired artwork as part of a peace-themed music concert at our school.
