Join Mid-Ohio Foodbank in Increasing Hunger Awareness through "Art Action"
What is "Art Action"? Mid-Ohio Foodbank has a need to raise awareness surrounding the issue of hunger. As a result, MOFB and the "Growing Together" Service-Learning Network are collaborating on "Art Action."
Students will learn about the condition of hunger in Ohio and the United States through a hands-on regional art showcase that runs September 2013 through November 2013. K-12 educators can use this opportunity to help students explore information, issues, and potential solutions re: the conditions of hunger and food insecurity. Students can then "do the work of real people" to express their understanding of the issue through the creation of an interpretive visual art piece.
