Our 8th grade artists recently studied the ways in which visual art can be used to communicate a message. We explored possibilities with a variety of communicative artworks, from personal, to political, to religious, and more. In order to gain a deeper understanding of current events and issues facing our nation, students also researched topics such as pollution and climate change, racial inequity, mental health, gender rights, bullying, body image, and immigration. Through this project, students were able to practice communicating their beliefs, opinions, emotions and concerns using visual symbolism. The works they have created are thought-provoking, inspiring, and saddening all at once. Thank you for viewing, and please enjoy.
