The Laws of Life is an international essay contest and social and emotional learning (SEL) initiative that many school districts use to build students' SEL and related abilities. In the contest, students reflect on their identities--who they are, who they want to become, and what they want their lives to stand for--by writing about the main values by which they live their life, their "laws of life." In this article, the authors describe Plainfield (New Jersey) High School's photojournalism project aimed at integrating the Laws of Life into the existing graphic arts curriculum. Students in Plainfield's mixed-grade Graphic Arts II class participated in the project and were encouraged to reflect on the values by which they live and express them through the arts. The reflection exercise revealed some telling results for the project as a whole. When asked to describe what they thought and felt when they looked at their completed project for the first time, 50% of the students expressed that they felt a great appreciation for all of their hard work, and 25% noted that their school was a diverse community. The overwhelming majority of students hoped that their peers would look at the banner and see a message of unity.
