My school has had a long standing tradition to pick a country to base the art curriculum on for that year, so last year I chose the Caribbean Islands. The kids had fun painting tropical fish, designing their own treasure maps, creating their own Pirates of the Caribbean and learning about the beautiful Haitian art including the tap tap buses. We were also very lucky to have some parents in our school who were from the Caribbean and they helped by providing books and artifacts from the islands. My first post will be pictures of the pirate self portraits that the kids did.
