Memorials: Art for Remembering
Getting Started

The lessons in this issue familiarize students with memorials: What are they made of? For whom or what are they created? What meanings do they hold? Students answer these questions in a series of activities in which they examine four memorials from around the world and examples in their own community. In a culminating activity, students identify and create a memorial for someone they have “lost.”
