Art for Heroes
The COVID-19 pandemic has created
many hardships for everyone to overcome.
However, it has also allowed many of our
community’s heroes to shine. Essential
workers of every type, such as healthcare
providers, emergency responders, law
enforcement officers, grocery store and
pharmacy staff, manufacturers of essential
goods, military personnel, truck drivers,
and many others, have risked everything to
continue supporting our community’s needs.
To show our appreciation for these
community heroes, there is a special art
activity included in our Summer Learning
Challenge. Create art celebrating our
community heroes, incorporating a heart
or hearts into it in some way, as well as the
words, “Thank you, community heroes!”
There is no limitation on the type or
art. Drawing, coloring, murals, collages,
mosaics, sidewalk chalk, music videos, or
whatever other form of art catches your
fancy — it’s all good. Put your finished art
badge somewhere highly visible, where our
community heroes can see it, and then take
a photo or video showing your art and share
it with us on Facebook or Instagram, with
the hashtag #BCPLSummerLearning.
You will earn twenty points in the Summer
Learning Challenge for this activity, and
you will also earn the Art for Heroes badge.
Happy creating!
