7th graders´ Social Studies curriculum focuses on Asia and so does their art program. They have explored Hindu Mandalas, Chinese Dragons and Beijing Opera Masks and recently we had a chance to try out some landscape scroll paintings.
For homework they had to research the main characteristics of these paintings and frequent subjects (cherry and blossoms, waterfalls, bamboo, and chrysanthemums) and later in class they tried watercoloring their own designs based on these characteristics.
They are all very beautiful, but these are some of the ones that looked the most "chinese" ;-)
