Processing what we are learning, creating our self portraits:

Each class created a final self-portrait after scavenger hunting, sketching, sketching and sketching more.
Students put together all the information they had gathered, in the mirror and from their friends. They were excited about putting together all the pieces and parts of the puzzle.

Then they created their piece for the Multicultural Faire exhibit. Each grade level concentrated on a different medium or different focus.

The chatter in the studio while they worked was electric, with discoveries and/or observations.

Understanding Goals-What is most important for the students to understand through this work?

•How can we work together to find the underlying thread of humanity and learn acceptance and understanding?

•In what way can art skills help us learn about what we look like and who we are?

•Will looking at our similarities and differences help us look beyond first impressions?

•How can art skills help us learn about ourselves and others?
