What is your artwork about?
The Earth and Moon show their feelings and questions about people on Earth.
Let the children feel FREE through education in their earth home!
Starvation, Hunger and Poverty are realities that we must work togheter to eliminate!
Did your group enjoy working on this project?
The Earth and Moon work came from a 5th grade teacher who explored the “Golden rule.” Fantastic!
In Nepal, there is a great need for good public education as expressed.
The “Stop” theme was developed in a middle school within Social Studies and Art integrated unit. Students are very motivated when working on this.
Do you have any other ideas of projects the IFC could do?
Create a “Virtual Globe Exhibition” using all the combined social Justice Projects in the Visual Arts! All images could be cropped into hexagons that would organically cover the globe. Click on each one and read about it. Could expand over time.
