This is our second year teaming up with Mrs. Martha Baker and the Children's Advocacy Center of Lookout Mountain for their "Child Abuse Awareness" Art Contest. Now 8th Grader, Abigail Holmes was last years winner! She was presented her award at the Board of Education and her design was used to create a T-shirt for this years Child Abuse Awareness Month! Our Essential Question for this week's assignment was "How can art reflect and create an impactful message?" I used this contest as a chance to talk to students about the importance of art, especially when it comes to making an impact and helping translate a verbal message into a visual one. We as artists can speak louder visually than with words alone. The students were given creative freedom to choose their subject matter but encouraged to work with in the themes, symbols, and color schemes, established by the movement. It was amazing to see these students creativity, but it was even more amazing to see real empathy poor out from their hearts. Check out the slides below to see some of their artwork and be sure to go by the Dade County Library to see their art in person.
