El Education: And Justice for All

Students in 11th grade at Tapestry Charter High School created this project during a trimester-long study of constitutional rights and social justice in American history. The learning expedition centered around the question of whether the Declaration of Independence is living up to its founding ideals. By exploring the gaps between this ideal and reality, students were able to make connections between history and present life in America. For this project, students created tableau based on their exploration of American ideals in English and US History. The tableau were photographed and then converted into silhouettes in Photoshop.
