Hey Friends!
Let’s take a trip back in time to the 1940s! Did you know that was 80 years ago? What is there for us to discover all the way back then? Well. I’m glad you asked! In the 1940s, Americans came up with the Abstract Art Movement right after World War II. This became one of the most popular trends, and it lasted through to the 1950s. Have you ever heard of New York? New York became one of the most popular states in America during this art movement because many abstract artists were making their art there and showcasing it in fancy galleries to the people who lived in that area. Hey Friends!
Earth Day began in the year 1970, making today the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! This serves as a reminder to try to take care of and protect our environment in our daily lives. It represents a movement that has continued decades later. Over the years, different communities across the country have found ways to minimize the damage we do to planet Earth and keep our home and those who live here healthy!
