Students started the New Year with a special project called Planet Earth + Love, from the Dallas-based non-profit organization “29 Pieces.” My classes participated in 29 Pieces: The American Love Project in 2022. The Planet Earth + Love Project is an open call for artwork inspired by nature, which aims to promote balanced, positive relationships between humankind and all living beings. Tolerance, curiosity, and acceptance are pillars on a path to a more peaceful and loving planet Earth.

Students began by selecting a famous quote or song lyric inspired by nature. Then, they created an artwork illustrating the idea inspired by their chosen quote, using the media of their choice. Follow their artwork on Instagram (link below) and stay tuned for our upcoming exhibit at the SW Regional Library during March/April to highlight Youth Art Month and Earth Day 2026.
