Parades, Paintings, and Movie Magic!

Ask the class before hitting play to activate prior knowledge.

Main Takeaway

"Community events like festivals, art fairs, and film festivals bring people together to celebrate culture, share ideas, and support others through creativity and teamwork."

"At the parade, a non-profit group sold snacks to raise money for community projects like park cleanups."

gallery

Definition: A place (or group) that shows artwork so people can look at it.

"We walked through a gallery booth at the art fair and found a painting made with bright recycled paper."

contemporary

Definition: Made in recent times, including today.

"The contemporary sculpture used plastic spoons and bottle caps to show how we can reuse materials."

anniversary
