Arts4Peace: Days Three-Five, Art-Making Begins


It is 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and students arrive early to stretch canvas, carry drums, and help in the set-up by the professional artist teachers who will begin the process of art as metaphor. Where didactic teaching has been the focus for the first two days, the teaching artists now focus on creating art projects that are based on the theme of peace-making and integrate the basic story, Rattlesnake day.
Telling the story in different art forms reinforced the major characters that represented the conflict styles.

Listen to the first take of the theme song below.
