Celebrating the Unsung Heroes in History
Posted by Krissy PondenUnsung heroes are individuals who accomplished incredible acts of bravery and compassion during their lifetimes but remain largely unknown to contemporary generations. Each student selected an Unsung Hero and researched their story by identifying important events, historical context, and relevant artifacts. They also reflected on how the hero’s story is relevant today and what we can learn from their character traits and actions. The students then created a work of art in a media of their choice that illuminates the hero’s story and honors their contributions. Students wrote artist statements demonstrating their learning and sharing the insights they gained from doing this project. The projects were shared with our school community during an evening art reception and presentation where students read their statements alongside their work.
