The American Dream: Immigration and Art

Presented by Imagine That! Art Education

What is the American Dream? What freedoms do people seek in America? What hopes, dreams, or difficulties might a person have when moving to a new place? During a lively interactive art show asseembly about immigration in art, take a trip across the ocean, greet the Statue of Liberty, or arrive another way in America for a new life. Then create posters using slogans, cut out figures, and fun filled collage to tell the story of how your family came to America and your American dream. Available virtually with discount. Cultural responsiveness: Our approach teaches students how to express personal opinions about what they see in diverse art and to respect the differing view points of their classmates. Fostering open ended thinking, we encourage debate and discussion through respectful speaking and listening to each other. The art discussed is exemplary of diverse backgrounds and approaches to creativity. Programs are geared to all ages and abilities.
