People of Our Community
After learning about 3 levels of community in their classroom (urban, suburban, and rural) the third graders talked more about community in the art room. We thought about community a little differently concentrating on the people and dividing our community into our family, school, and city communities. Students looked at the mixed media work of an amazing Columbus artist, Aminah Robinson, and discussed how her work represents community in different ways. Meet, see, and explore her art at aminahsworld.org, or check out one of her murals in person at the main branch of the Columbus Public Library. Sometimes her work is also on display at the Columbus Museum of Art and her "A Street Called Home" mural is across the street!
