Teach Peace: Peace Art and Peace Crafts

Peace crafts and peace with art themes are popular in all cultures throughout the world. Children, youth, adults and seniors alike appreciate the symbols of peace and wear clothing, jewelry and badges adorned with peace symbols. Teaching peace helps everyone and harms none. We can use peace arts and crafts to supplement the lessons of peace and peaceful living. I firmly believe we must teach peace with peace arts and crafts.

Political campaigns and world leaders use peace and symbols of peace to promote action and encourage people to work together for a common cause. Making peace crafts and works of art with peace themes is a favorite with children and adults, because sharing the quest and hope for world peace is universally popular.

This Peace Crafts lens offers resources for learning about peace through celebrations, arts and crafts and the history of peace symbols plus ideas for teaching and promoting peace - imagine peace.

I'd Rather Teach Peace by Colman McCarthy

When invited to teach a writing course at the School Without Walls, Washington Post columnist responded with the title of this book - I'd Rather Teach Peace. That was in 1982,. From that simple beginning this respected journalist took his lessons of peace to all sorts of schools in the US, giving up his job as a columnist to encourage children to explore the issues and think creatively about peace.

Imagine ... Peace

All We Are Saying Is "Give Peace a Chance"

John Lennon and Yoko Ono campaigned for peace and human rights, using art as the medium to communicate their message. John's lyrics (poetry) often included peace messages:

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace ...


Imagine was recorded and performed live numerous times, as was another famous Lennon anti-war song, Give Peace a Chance.

The Peace Sign

Peace symbols and peace icons

Peace signs, peace symbols sticker poster

Symbols of peace abound in world cultures. Peace symbols are universal glyphs and images - peace icons - made easily recognizable through the peace movement or pop culture. Many different symbols for peace are recognized around the world. The most familiar universal peace irons are a dove, an olive branch, a broken weapon and the graphic used originally by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ("the round peace symbol").

Although 40 years have passed since the 1969 peace march on Washington, DC the peace symbol remains a popular icon in world cultures. The round graphic and the fingers displayed in a "V" shape have the same meaning no matter what the language.

The most well known peace symbol from the 1960s has become pop culture favorite that remains a favorite in the 21st century.
