Citizens of the World in Visual Art

Oct 25, 2025 | Visual Arts, 2025 Archive

This term in Art, students explored the idea of global citizenship. We began with imaginative drawing exercises, where students were challenged to complete a started image to spark creative thinking. From there, we looked at how artists and designers use symbols to express powerful ideas that connect people across cultures.

Researching cultural symbols helped students design title pages and art journal covers that reflected their identities and shared values. Inspired by these ideas, they used the design process to create new symbols, turning them into unique badges and emblems made from cut paper. Each one represents how we are all connected through our communities, our actions, and our care for one another and the planet.
