The Library of Congress Photos, Prints, Drawings collection holds contributions by Amplifier Art. Amplifier art is Creative Commons licensed (with no alterations or commercial use) but can provide inspiration for what students can create using tools such as phone photography and digital art.  These posters provide wonderful models for students to create campaigns for the pandemic and I have included a few in this album.

Often students who are connected to content through their own experiences or meaningful and “real world” projects are more engaged in their learning of history or civics.  And in our current situation (California as well as other parts of the world are once again under stay-at-home directives) students can become involved and contribute to solutions.

In a poster project, portraits, selfies and student art can be captured and combined with a message in a simple but powerful way using digital filters. This easy and creative project can be designed right from home and students can feel empowered that they are contributing. Student campaigns can be shared on school websites or online venues doing their part to encourage all to stay safe.

Be sure to add your own creative poster message to this album!
