Early in our history, CMA put out a worldwide call to ask children for artwork. As a result, CMA now holds one of the largest collections of children’s artwork in the world. See it here.
This year CMA celebrates 30 years of art making. Now embracing the digital age, CMA proposes a second call for children to make art worldwide with CIVICKIDS, and to begin a dialogue by sharing their art online. Each month, CMA will issue a digital challenge to create a project based on themes of civic engagement including leadership, sustainability, and kindness.
Join the movement! Here’s how to participate:
This month’s digital challenge is Protector Shields. We all have strength, whether individually or as a group, to help shield that which needs protecting. Whether for an individual, animal, or tree, we all have the might and will to take a stand!
Adults: Once the child you are working with is finished with their project, work together to make a list on the back of the shield. What can you do every day to protect what is featured on the shield?
Check out the steps here or watch the video below.
Remember to share your projects and thoughts using #CMACIVICKIDS, and your project will be added to our online exhibition below!
This month of CIVICKIDS activity is sponsored by Trinity Church at Wall St.
