All three 6th grade classrooms were reading stories around the theme of immigration, migration and refugee’s journey.
Class one students interpreted and analyzed the artwork Cabin in the Cotton by Horrace Pippen’s, and The Herring Net by Winslow Homer, to explore how artists communicated the theme journey.
Each student would create a symbol that represented a part of a journey.
This exact symbol image would then be created in 4 different medias.
