One-act play using traditional masks and dance for Multicultural Day!Objective: Students will wear traditional masks prepared for each country and demonstrate representative movements of that country's traditional dance through motions and gestures. Standards: TH: Re8.1.7 / TH: Re8.1.8 Procedure: * The teacher shows traditional masks from five countries (Korea, Japan, Italy, Africa, and India) to the students sitting in a circle and explains the characteristics of each country's traditional masks. We will also show YouTube videos containing traditional dances from five different countries. Students will watch the YouTube video shown by the teacher and then follow the instructions below. 1) Today is Multicultural day. Today we studied traditional masks and dances from five countries. After speaking, the teacher will instruct the students to form teams of 2, making a total of 5 teams. 2) The teacher will instruct each team to have one person wear a traditional mask and act while the other person designs the performance and choreography. The two students must discuss with each other the choreography of their country. 3) The teacher will give students 30 minutes. During this time, students must complete a choreography for their country. After watching the YouTube video, we will prepare a white board to write down any actions that might become iconic. They will draw the appropriate gesture for each movement. 4) After the preparation time is over, the teacher will have students from each country come out and demonstrate the prepared traditional mask play. 5) The first team is the ‘Korea’ team. Are you ready? The choreography given is for 10 minutes. Other teams will see the choreography and evaluate whether it was presented appropriately. Teachers will videotape and document students' choreography demonstrations. Rating scale: - Students can accurately answer quizzes containing information about traditional masks. - Students can work as a team of two to develop a choreography that perfectly encapsulates a traditional dance within a set amount of time. - Students can summarize and convey traditional dances in a way that expresses and symbolizes the country well. - Students can increase their understanding of the culture and traditions of other countries by developing traditional mask choreography.

My Capstone presentation: Balance Over Perfection!There were times when I couldn't see where I was going or what I was doing. Although I was drawing every day, I felt uneasy inside. And I kept asking myself questions. “Is this the right way to do it?” “What is art?” It was painful because I couldn't find the answer. Then, one day, while walking on the beach, I saw a pile of stones that someone had carefully piled up. And I tried following along. Looking around, the stones all had different shapes. And it was beautiful. The stones I stacked weren't perfect, but they balanced each other. It was the moment when my concerns as an artist were resolved. I live my life like the pigeon in my recent watercolor painting, ‘Diversity’. Nothing special. I draw every day. And I ask myself that question every day. “Am I stacking my stones well?” I once asked my mentor and artist Diana Brian a question. " What made you start doing art? Can you please let me know if you are happy with your choice at the time? " She answered. "I loved to draw as a child. I wanted to make greeting cards, and children's books, but I chose graphic design for a financially secure path. Sometimes, I wonder what my career in illustration would have been like if I had the courage back then to take that direction. I do not regret anything, though, and I am grateful for the ability to provide for myself and my family". (in the interview with Diana O'Brien) Life and art may probably be very simple things. The more complex and grandiose you think, the more likely it is to fall apart. So, there is a need for balance rather than perfection. Since the interview, I've been thinking about balance as an artist on this topic. I think balance as an artist was like catching a lucky fish in the ocean with a view of a large rocky mountain. I believe that my artistic philosophy is to find balance rather than perfection. My work will be like a tower that I build every day. The same goes for education. Rather than creating grandiose solutions that will surprise the world overnight, we encourage children to discover joy in everyday life and slowly build their own stones one by one. This is my educational philosophy. And the stones piled up like this become rocks. The rocks come together and become a large mountain. And one day, we will be lucky enough to catch a big fish. I hope our students will catch the fish of hope. And I believe that art is ‘good luck’ and ‘magic’ that makes visible the invisible energy such as effort, love, passion, and will that we create every day. As an artist, I will spend my entire life drawing and showing this energy to the world. Art contest with nature conservation theme for Kids!An art contest with a nature conservation theme for kids is an engaging and educational initiative that encourages young artists to express their creativity while raising awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. Personally, I hope there will be more opportunities for this type of art contest. Save the frog! It is the world's most effective amphibian conservation organization.

The program, at its heart, began as a drawing contest. However, since 2010, the program has become much more – in large part, due to the community engagement, education, and outreach features. Since the program is developed with guidance from the District School Board of Pasco County, the program is mindful of curriculum standards and can be implemented by both art and science elementary teachers. The contest also features opportunities for presentations from FGUA and/or Pasco County Utilities staff, so that students, teachers, and staff can learn more about water. Each year, the theme changes so that teachers can look forward to teaching water in new and exciting ways. Kindergarten up to 5th grade.
