Art for Kids brings Election Day Excitement into the Classroom
Art education is a wonderful way to help integrate children’s learning, including symbols that characterize the American experience. At the Academy of Christian Education in Fairfax County, Virginia, as in many public and private classrooms nationwide, children engaged in activities that connected them to our general election. This class of approximately 20 students, representative of numerous ethnic groups and cultures, engaged in a Jasper Johns art lesson that entailed painting American flags. What a sight to behold!
