Lincoln and Idaho exhibit displayed at our Madison Middle

 

Madison High School art students displaying their collective "Torn Newspaper" project of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The students each had a strip or panel of the picture to create with torn newspapers. They had to work carefully with two other students that had the adjacent panels to theirs. They students were very proud of their project and displayed it at the Lincoln Legacy community night.
