Storytelling through Art Session: Access to Lesson Plans

In developing an ARTEFFECT project, students prepare written Impact Statements (500-1000 words) to accompany their visual artworks. In this essay, students should address the following prompts:

• Introduce your Unsung Hero.
• Discuss your Unsung Hero’s impact. 
• Describe your artistic vision and process. 
• Share the impact of your artwork. 

Download the Impact Statement Outline PDF for detailed instructions, or download the Impact Statement Worksheet to guide students through each prompt. Please submit your Impact Statement in English.

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 Anna’s multifaceted Capstone Project report:

“My students designed and created original artworks that visually expressed their emotional connection to their chosen Unsung Hero. Using color theory, symbolic imagery, and compositional choices, students told dual stories—their own and that of the hero—through a single piece of art.”

Congratulations to Anna and her students at Sinai Akiba Academy for their inspiring ARTEFFECT projects!
