Ms. Charnuska's Art Class: The World Needs More

My next lesson with Art I is to create an Alter Ego Super Hero using a Monochromatic or Complimentary Color Scheme. I am excited to teach this lesson because it connects to the big idea of social issues and relates Art to something greater than the four walls of my classroom. However- something felt missing! After doing some research, I found an amazing cause to use as a basis for my lesson. It's called World Humanitarian Day.

What is it?

World Humanitarian Day falls on August 19th- the day in 2003 when 22 aid workers were killed in a bombing at the UN headquarters in Baghdad.

"It's a day to commemorate all people who have lost their lives in humanitarian service and to celebrate the spirit of people helping people that motivates this work."

The World Needs More campaign was launched in support of World Humanitarian Day to raise much needed funds to continue the effort to help others.

My students will be choosing one word that they feel the world needs more of. Then, they will use Facebook or twitter to submit their word and unlock a $1 donation from a sponsor.

Next, they will use their one word to design an Alter Ego Super Hero to bring more of this one word to our world.

I look forward to sharing my students Art with you!!
