Lesson: Jeremy Deller: Conversing about Conflict

Bridge cultural awareness, community, government, and art with an introspective and thought-provoking activity. Upper graders become globally and socially aware as they analyze and explore the art of Jeremy Deller. They consider his images of Iraq, specifically those images portraying community hubs. Kids then create photo journals describing the community hubs in their neighborhoods and compare them to the hubs in Iraq.
