Working Together for MLK's DREAM

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr and in celebration of Black History Month art students at my middle school and a neighboring school district worked together during February to create art. My friend and fellow art teacher, Holly Lampen,  received a grant to support this project and generously invited my students and me to join her in this creative effort. Hundreds of kids at our respective schools painted designs in individual squares on two canvases. The warm and cool toned squares spell out MLK’s iconic word: “DREAM.” Each school is working on two of the large canvases. The schools will soon trade one half of the work of art so that the final work on display at each school will represent the collaborative effort of Wildcats and Pioneers joining together to make art. Thank you, Holly, for the inspired project!
