HELLLP! I'm looking for some fabulous patriotic art projects to do with my kiddos right out of the gate this year. I'd love to be able to have a whole unit on symbolism and patriotic artwork to correspond with the 10-year anniversary of September 11.Do you have a wonderful patriotic art lesson (any level) that you'd like to share? Please link your lesson in the comment section and I will link your lesson to the bottom of this post!
Check out these wonderful patriotic works of art:

I have two lessons in this post that have a patriotic theme. One lesson is for 6th graders and is a newspaper/magazine collage of the American flag. The other lesson is for 8th graders and is a patriotic pointillism map of the United States.
Ooops...here is a quicker link to those above mentioned projects.

I just found your blog in a round about search thru Pinterest.... my first visit. I realize that I'm too late for your need this year. I am a former Elementary Art teacher turned to Author/Illustrator of picture books.
ReplyDeleteMy newest book has just won a national INDIE Award of Excellenece. It is entiteld "Red, White and Blue" and is based on the lyics to an original song I wrote for children, immediately after 9-11. I designed the illustrations in fabric and created quilts to bring it to life.
It would be a perfect 'prompt' in the hands of an elementary art teacher. My first book would also be a total inspiration, but that's a whole different kettle of fish!

I hope that you have time to come and take a look. The post I put up on Sept. 11th is pretty comprehensive as to the back ground.
