I worked with students from year 6 (age 10-11) on a collaborative art making project between international schools in Taiwan, South Africa, Singapore, the US and Thailand.
A group of students at an international school in Taiwan began the project by creating a collection of artwork inspired by personal interpretations on the theme of 'I AM HERE'. The artwork subsequently went on a journey to other international schools. Each time the artwork arrived at a new school it was altered, layered and changed by a group of new students in response to the work and ideas of the previous artist as well as personal interpretations of the theme 'I AM HERE'.
Students chose to explore issues as diverse as language, cultural identity, global warming, cyber bullying, global interconnectivity and personal interests.
