Pandora's Box

How do you teach peace and unity at the same time you teach art?

How do you help students to visually discover the duality that exists between peace and disharmony? How can you implement such an art curriculum without actually being an art teacher?

As Montessorians we build our classroom community based on these fundamental concepts. Peace education is a way of life that we try to instill in each of our students.

Pandora's Box is a an art curriculum whose emphasis is in developing the understanding of these often hard to grasp concepts. This is achieved through a unified set of art projects that are centered around the ancient Greek myth of Pandora.
