Mrs. Howard came into our classroom to do an art masterpiece lesson. She taught our students all about Edward Hicks (1780-1849) who was a Quaker who began his career as a painter of wagons. This painting was called "Our Peaceable Kingdom". The painting has animals and young children assembled together, and in the background he features William Penn and Native Americans signing a peace treaty. She brought in a cake for the class to decorate as a "peaceable kingdom". The children drew pictures of people and or things that are important to them. Some examples were their pet, their mother, flowers rainbows, etc. They really enjoyed this lesson! Thank you Mrs. Howard for another great art lesson.
