Thumprints of Peace

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, cMoe patrons created this collaborative art piece called "Thumbprints of Peace." We marked off a peace sign in painter's tape, soaked some sponges in tempera paint, and let kids stamp their thumbprints onto the blank canvas. When the paint dried, we peeled off the tape to reveal the white peace sign! This is a great lesson on diversity and cooperation, and as an art lesson, is a great way to show the concept of negative space. 

We think the piece turned out beautifully! Check it out in the Speak Loud gallery during your next visit to cMoe!
