Tomorrow the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade art students will be participating in Pinwheels for Peace. Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project that started in 2005 by two art teachers in Florida. It has now caught wind and gone global with over 4 million pinwheels spinning around the world on September 21st (International Day of Peace).
Students expressed their feelings on war, peace, tolerance, living in harmony, equality, global awareness etc. on one side of the pinwheel. On the other side the students visually expressed these feelings through drawings using a variety of medias.
We will be displaying our pinwheels in the grass in between the sidewalk and the parking lot (by the marquee sign out front). We will be planting the pinwheels during first period and then taking them down in the evening. Feel free to stop by the school to take a longer look at this amazing exhibition!
