On Tuesday the Minnesota Center for Book Arts served as the perfect creative backdrop for ISLA 6th graders to explore their creativity. Students have spent the last 5 weeks digging deep into the concept of conflict as they unpack their central idea: In times of conflict, art allows for introspection and can serve to promote action for peace. Through the process of paper cutting and collaged paper each student created their own multi-toned print design that will be used as propaganda for promoting action on a global issue that matters to them. These provocative posters will be exhibited at our end-of-year celebration of learning called the Exhibition.
