8th grade Civil War Memorial Collages!

In their Social Studies class, 8th graders were hard at work learning about the Civil War. In their class, they were to focus on a particular General (North or South) and create a write up about them in Computers.

In an interdisciplinary lesson connecting Social Studies with Art, students created a memorial honoring their Civil War General using collage materials (texture papers, magazine images, etc.)! Students learned about different types of memorials, collage art, and watercolor techniques!

These came out so wonderfully. Take a look:
 

 

Excellent work, 8th grade!
