9/11 Memorial: Tribute Art & 9/11

Abstract:

This teacher guide was developed in 2010 in partnership with the September 11th Education Trust and the Social Studies School Service. In the aftermath of the attacks, many people chose to respond through a range of artistic channels as part of the healing, recovery, and rebuilding 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. Accompanying this teacher’s guide is a downloadable poster of “Lady Liberty,” a remarkable and inspiring example of response art to 9/11.
