26. The fourth grade “Peace Room” created this Peace Dove Project as an expression of their understanding of the concept of peace. The students worked with the art teacher to interpret Picasso’s peace doves. They read children’s literature related to achieving individual and community peace. Students experienced many forms of poetry and explored the power of language to convey feeling. They composed their poems to accompany their artwork. This was a collaborative project between the students and their classroom teacher Felicia Begay, art teachers Tracy Ross & Cindy Jameson, teacher- librarian Diane Skorupski, and literacy coach Judi Moreillon. The Peace Dove Project will travel to other schools as part of the Global Art Project.
