Portraits of Courage
Lenarz, Lisa M.
Educational Leadership, v76 n4 p68-69 Dec 2018
This piece showcases three schoolwide art projects that promoted social justice, belonging, and diversity. A yarn bombing in a Missouri elementary school gave students an opportunity to learn cross-curriculum lessons and promote the idea of unity among all cultures and backgrounds. A glass bead mosaic in a First Nations school in British Columbia helped cement a sense of belonging among a community that had been rooted in mistrust. And a life-sized silhouette narratives anti-bullying art installation in a public middle school helped marginalized students find their voices in powerful ways.
