Welcome to the official website supporting the September 11th Day of Service and Remembrance.
TRIBUTE ART AND 9/11: HEALING THROUGH ARTISTIC RESPONSE (GRADES 5-12)
9/11 Lesson Plans
In the aftermath of the attacks, many individuals and communities chose to respond through a range of artistic channels as part of the grieving, healing, recovery, rebuilding, and meaning-making process. In studying these responses, we learn how art is not only a means for self-expression, but can also serve as a vehicle for community- building and personal growth. These materials are designed to engage students in the history of 9/11 by providing examples of artistic responses to the events and inviting students to take part in the creation of their own works of art, either individually or as part of a group. Accompanying this discussion guide is a downloadable poster of “Lady Liberty,” a remarkable and inspiring example of collective, creative responses to 9/11.
