UNITY

Visual Art Selection – choose one work of art

This summer, it's up to each of you to find a work of art by an established artist that relates to the theme of Unity.

Two examples are: The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci and George Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

You will need to attach a photo, postcard, or printout of this selection to your reflection packet.
