On Tuesday, I got the camera out to record the hard work and creativity of my student artists at Waukazoo. As you can see, there is not only the production of great work--there is the great joy of it!
Fourth and fifth graders are making scenes of Holland, Michigan, inspired by the Amate Bark Paintings of Mexico (in honor of Cinco de Mayo and Tulip Time.) Tulip Time is again honored and celebrated through our Dutch Canal House project. Second graders study Communities in Social Studies, and third graders visit Dutch Village and study Holland History.
The Arts help us understand who we are and who other people are; how we are alike and different, things we have in common. Understanding each other is the first step toward peace on earth, in this art teacher's estimation! :)
