Summary: Students create and exchange artwork and writing on "a sense of caring."
Description: The purpose of this global art project theme is to provide the opportunity for children/youth around the world to exchange artwork accompanied by writing on the theme of " A Sense of Caring". Students in participating schools and communities will create artworks that portray ways that they presently care for one another within our schools, families, communities and world as well as ways we find and hope to care more. Each student writes an accompanying text that further describes the sense of caring portrayed in her/his artwork. The narrative for the artwork is written in the student's first language so that children/youth viewing the exchanged Global artwork/writing can see how our world is multilingual and can see the many languages that communicate ideas of caring. Teachers and students may choose to include a translation of the text to English or Spanish. As each school is preparing artwork with writing to exchange with other participating schools, they are also asked to generate a service learning project of caring within their local or global community.
