Liberty Bell Project - life... and the pursuit of happiness
Believe it or not schools can be the most undemocratic and uncreative spaces.
The Philadelphia Arts and Education Partnership (PAEP) and the National Liberty Museum have developed an exciting program entitled “Let Art Freedom Ring” that infuses democracy, character education, and art making.
“Let Art Freedom Ring” seeks to reinvigorate students’ civic mindedness and artistic muses through 12 sessions. During the sessions students explore themes related to liberty, study Philadelphia’s role in shaping our democracy, and collaborate with resident artists to create a 6', 3-d interpretation of the Liberty Bell.
