WELCOME

Welcome to the Artful Truth-Healthy Propaganda Arts Project. This innovative arts curriculum demonstrates the power of art in a way that few others can. As our environment becomes more populated with images, symbols, and other visual messages it becomes increasingly more important that students become visually literate. Artful Truth-Healthy Propaganda Arts Project provides educators with the tools and training to teach visual literacy in the classroom, where students are learning to develop the critical thinking skills that will make them more sophisticated and discerning citizens. Our mission is to reduce tobacco use among young people through art education. This curriculum is the culmination of a three-year effort that has involved the active participation of Florida educators and students, together with the Florida Department of Health, Division of Health Awareness and Tobacco. This package reflects all that we have learned-and we have proof that it works.
