Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We want to give our kindergarten children the chance to do a number of paintings of their classmates in which they discover what makes their classmates unique as they come from 14 different ethnic groups to Talahi. It is our hope that each child will have completed three paintings by the end of the residency. We expect the paintings will show facial expressions that will show many feelings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Each of the children produced a final portrait of a classmate that was painted by them. In doing this they demonstrated an understanding of basic drawing techniques. Also, an understanding of the l4 ethnic groups that make up our school was shown in a new way.
