Welcome to The Teacher's Desk , a resource designed for teachers of grades 5 through 12. Please feel free to sit down, relax, and take your time browsing through the contents. The heart of the desk is a collection of information about the current exhibit at The Center , lesson plan ideas based on Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum and links to related Websites for additional teaching materials.
Trench art is the term used to describe objects made from war materials.
For example, this vase was made from a used shell casing. Trench art was created by soldiers, prisoners of war, civilians, and veterans. The objects come from all over the world, but most of the items in this exhibit are from Europe. When American, Canadian and Australian soldiers returned home from the war, they brought trench art work back with them. No war is spent fighting every minute.
