Art Folder #12
Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, Jefferson, Jackson, and Grant, what do these names have in common? Each of these men helped guide our country to where it is today. You might know these men better by their faces, which appear on pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and other coins and bills we use everyday. These men are our past Presidents. In February we celebrate President's Day, this is a day for us to remember these men and their accomplishments.
Your assignment is to create a coin or bill celebrating one of our many Presidents, a heroic American citizen, an American landmark or symbol that you feel would best represent our country. Please label the person, place, or idea behind your coin or bill and show both sides.
