Inspired by: "Recipe for Civil Right's Leader" by Garfield 3rd - 5th grade team
Suggested Value: $325.00

"I was immediately drawn to the poem, "Recipe for a Civil Rights Leader". It was powerful and full of inspiration, strength, energy, ambition, and uncompromising truth. The poem challenged me to step up to the plate and illustrate it with equal directness. I wanted to interpret the poem in a way that would leave it unadulterated, that is to say, with simplicity, clarity, straightforwardness, and power. The poem made me cry when I first read it. It still makes me cry. I want there to be many more civil rights leaders like these students. I look forward to hearing their voices."

Inspired by: "Sensory Poem" by Garfield 1st - 2nd grade team
Suggested Value: $50

"This class poem by young students was so refreshing. I kept my project simple and concrete so that the kids could see their words directly translated into images. Visiting a 2nd-grade classroom at my neighborhood school, I photographed images that the writers of the poem would recognize and arranged them in a collage that included the text of the poem. The collage was then printed and mounted on foam board for display."
