Using Image, Text and Color create a poster that represents something you are interested in. It could be music of today or something else. Posters will be displayed in early November at the National Museum of American Jewish History.
Students in grades K-12 are invited to take part in the 2016 Doodle 4 Google contest, and create a doodle that tells the world “What I see for the future.” From crayons to clay, graphic design, or even food, young artists can utilize any materials to bring their creation to life.
