Students create art projects designed to reflect their life and culture which are exchanged with a partner class in a different country. They examine and enjoy the art from their partners, gaining a new perspectives into their culture.
ArtLink is an adventure in cross-cultural discovery, a way for students to expand beyond their locality to feel their inclusion in a global community. They discover that art is a surprisingly effective and satisfying medium for expressing and sharing their ideas with new international friends.
