The DAR organization sponsors an art contest, called the JAC contest, each year with a patriotic theme. My Advanced Art classes just completed their projects for this year and will be delivered this weekend. So I thought I would share a photo of my students who had projects from last year that won 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, all the way up to the District and National level. They are very proud of their achievement. They had to win 1st place to get to the National competition.
This patriotic theme based assignment really challenges my students to think about historical and social issues in a creative way. The students really work hard at coming up with their idea and how to tie their idea into the theme. Its a challenge, but I think its a really good experience for the students.
There was another national winner, but she graduated and is away at college.
