Nacho Libro
We created this as part of our "decorate the door" contest. Apparently, Ms. Farley's psychedelic door was better . . . which might be true. Hers was certainly colorful and involved all students. Still, who fights against literary inconsistencies with the power of onamonapea? Nacho Libro. As in, "Hey man, that's my book. No, it's Nacho Libro." The idea is that knowledge isn't power, it's superpower! He's climbing the plot mountain in this particular scene.
Actually, this became our inspiration for a short film we will be doing about three language arts superheroes.

Stamp Technique
by Jessica
At first glimpse, these might not seem like they are "social studies" related arts. Yet, in these stamping pieces, we are reminded that the preservation of nature is valuable.

Holocaust Images
The following are all pictures from our Art Collective, a project where all students collaborate on one major work of art. This particular art will work as the side canvas on both sides of the audience during our Holocaust play. Originally, we wanted the cast to stand in front of it with candles, but now it looks like we'll have to use flashlights. The idea was to capture the haunting nature of the Holocaust in the form of blended black and white images. Each image is finger painted. There was something earthy and personal in using our hands to create the art.

Globalization Collage #22
We chose mostly images from World War II. The reason is that the main ideas that led the world into war are the same that continue in globalization. It's just that the definition of a nation changed a little. So we started with an alliance system. Now the alliance is between one transnational company and another. We used to have imperialism. Now we have imperialism in the name of Wal-Mart. We used to have global conflict and now we still do, but globalization has made the enemy harder to detect.
Globalization Collage #18
Our collage has symbolism of the world today and how everything is connected. About how globalization has changed us in a good and bad way. The United States culture is being spread all over the world by Internet and things like that. For this reason we have Peter Griffin the in the middle of the world and American ideas coming out around him. We say that its good since its connecting people all over the world. Its also bad since some people don't want to be connected because they say its ruining their culture. It symbolizes how globalization is made and how it effects others.The mood is colorful and full of different emotions. Globalization is mainly just a thrill ride where it fun and scary, it has it's ups and down and in the end, we can't go back to where we were before.
