Bring the stories of the Unsung Heroes
into your classroom!
Introduce the ARTEFFECT annual competition in your classroom by following this step-by-step guide. All students in grades 6-12 worldwide are invited to participate.
Artworks in multiple 2D & 3D mediums are accepted. There are 2026 Spotlight Prizes for selected Unsung Heroes, 3D and large format. Follow the Impact Statement Outline for structuring the accompanying essay (500-1000 words).
Meet our 2024-2025 Ambassador Corina Alvarezdelugo, an Upper School Art & Design Faculty member at King School in Stamford, Connecticut.
Each ARTEFFECT Ambassador culminates their visual arts online fellowship with a capstone project that brings the inspiring stories of the LMC Unsung Heroes into their classrooms and communities. Here is an excerpt from Corina’s multifaceted Capstone Project Report:
“Integrating Unsung Hero stories also transformed our classroom culture. Students became genuinely curious about each other’s research and the broader social issues involved.”
Congratulations to Corina and her advanced Art 2 students at King School for your creativity and inspiring ARTEFFECT projects!
