To me, this family, as are all of us, truly blessed to be living NOW, where we have the potential to raise our children to be "color-blind". I'm reminded of this within my own family as we've put together a series of photographs for family friends from the "olden days" - we're quite a mixed group - Eastern European, Irish, Italian, African-American both light and very dark, Puerto Rican, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean - our kids say that we all look like one of those tins of Danish specialty cookies!<BR/><BR/>Benefitting from the multicultural influences of the "Big D", have any of your art classes produced works that involve ethnic heritage? Our 7th grade global art class has entertained some suggestions from our community members involving Celtic knots and Russian triptychs, but we'd like to go a little more 3D. Can you share some thoughts from your locale?<BR/><BR/>Ms. K in Chester NHMs. Judy Krassowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514224680709815854noreply@blogger.com
