Chinese Exchange Lesson, Part 2 (Dundee Students)

In the last post I shared some of the beautiful pictures that I received from students in China.  The students attempted to “read” the paintings and learn about Chinese kids. 100_5872
Next,  students created their own pictures to share with 3rd graders in China.  We discussed ideas they could share about their life in the U.S.  They were allowed to choose their medium.  My only main requirement was that their picture “speak” to the Chinese students through the visual language of art.

I really enjoyed seeing all my students different ideas.  All 3rd grade pictures are being sent to Lansing to be judged.  Pictures will be chosen to be sent to China as part of the exchange program.
