We talked about an
artist from the time period that we are studying, Edward Hicks. He did some
interesting paintings called Peaceable Kingdom, which we looked at and talked
about. We discussed the fact that he used his art to tell a message about his
hope that people could live peaceably together. We made collages that portrayed
our own ideas about peace between "scarey things" or strong things
and weak things or creatures. The kids were very creative in there work. I am
looking forward to next class!
