Concept
Pack your bags and get ready to embark on the artistic adventure of a lifetime! We start our journey by creating our very own passports, and then off we go to Japan, Mexico, Italy, Panama, and Brazil. Each day students focus on one destination and create beautiful and creative works of art specific to that location. Projects include Japanese ceramic tea cups and paper lanterns, Mexican prayer boxes, Italian frescos, colorful mola textiles from Panama, and papier-mâché parrots from Brazil. We also explore the culture, folklore, and history of these destinations.
