We were treated to our final Art Appreciation activity of the school year! The children painted umbrellas, inspired by the work of Matt Lamb and his Umbrellas for Peace Project. After September 11th, Mr. Lamb worked with children processing what happened that day. He encouraged the children to paint all their hopes and dreams for world peace on the outside of the umbrella while on the inside they painted what was worrying them or what scared them. The Cupcakes each created their own umbrella, which we displayed on the tree outside our classroom for all to enjoy on Friday, May 20.
Here are some images that I captured from our venture into painting umbrellas...
