The Let Art Freedom Ring Liberty Bell created by students from Beeber Middle School is a beautiful peace that was created to celebrate democracy, liberty and most importantly: happiness.

Let Art Freedom Ring is a cooperative program between Philadelphia Arts in Education Program and the National Liberty Museum.

Sixth grade students from Beeber Middle School have called their Let Freedom Ring Liberty Bell “Life.... And the Pursuit of Happiness.” The students described their project by saying “Our bell depicts our inquiry on the people, places and things that represent liberty.”  Considering their statement, it makes perfect sense that this bell can be seen at the Education Center at the National Liberty Museum in historic Philadelphia at 321 Chestnut Street.

The students collaborated with visiting clay artist Debbie Williams, and their art teachers Sonya Smith and Samuel Reed III to make their vision a reality. They chose a multimedia approach, using various mediums including papier-mâché, clay, paint, and plaster to create and design their bell.
