Mary Ellen Ziegler, Art Teacher Murray Language Academy, Chicago

I would like my students to

1) continue to explore "self portraits" and develop a portrait mask using "found materials"

2) create poems or other writings to reflect their urban culture, age group, concerns and interests...

3) collaborate in small groups to use their mask and writings in a performance "tableau"....

4) share their process with the other schools both here in Chicago and in Brazil through the combined web site.
