HS ART: Veteran's Day Art

Veteran's Day & Our Country
 

We discussed the pre-amble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We broke down the language to better understand exactly what the wording meant. Students could choose any medium to create a tribute to veterans.  They could do a general patriotic theme, something based off of the Bill of Rights,  or dedicate their project toward someone in particular. Most chose a family member who had served, but some chose to represent famous veterans or celebrities.  We  hung these in a display in our HS lobby during our school Veteran's program. Most people used acrylic paint, colored pencil, watercolor, or collage. We even had stencil work and a welding project!
