Culture Art

Students from all three grade 6 classes turned in their culture art projects today and I was very impressed by their finished work. Students had the opportunity to choose from 5 different types of art for this project. Each type of art was an example of traditional art created in a few different cultures. Each culture has a unique way of doing art which demonstrates different aspects from their way of life such as clothing, food, and other resources.

Through this project, students learned a little bit about a different culture and gained an understanding of what art represents for many groups of people. This created opportunities for students to make connections to our "One World, Many Cultures" unit. It is my hope that students are beginning to grasp the big idea behind this integrated unit; that even though we are part of a world filled with many different types of people, we are still united as one in God's creation.
