Project Blog address: http://iseeamerica.tumblr.com/

Hello! I'd like to introduce a group project that we're working on called Exploring Place through Art with our instructor, Ms. Helen H. Park. Basically, we take pictures with different themes each week; strange, beautiful, funny, familiar and American. This special project also gives us opportunity to talk with American people and interview them. This helps us to improve communication skills and be friends with local people. 

Here is an overview of the project below and please check this one out. 

Exploring Place through Art
Helen Park, Media Artist and Educator

How can we understand our environment through art? How do images and aesthetic experience deepen our insight into culture, place, and identity, whether of our own or that of another? In this two-hour session for the American Cultural Series, students will learn how artists have explored place through their work. Issues related to contemporary art practices and place-based work, such as site-specificity, identity, and community, will also be explored. I will share examples from my past projects that use place as a central theme, as well as works by produced in America by International artists.

PART I: Taking Photographs and Portraits of American Strangers

1. Take and select at least 3 pictures that illustrate the word of the day for you.
2. In groups, find a stranger and ask them what that word means to them. For example, What does the word strange mean to you? Write down their response. Be sure to also get their name.
3. Take a picture of him/her. If this person does not want their face on camera, ask if you can take a photo of an object they are carrying or wearing.

Picture
WORDS
Monday: Strange
Tuesday: Beautiful
Wednesday: Funny
Thursday: Familiar
Friday: American

Look at us! We were not afraid of talking to the stranger in Starbucks and interviewed him a project question, "What does Beautiful mean to you? "Even this young man taught us a game probably called Thumb Game.

My name is Grace Contreras,
I am glad this site is up and gives many the opportunity to read other peoples experiences.
I feel privileged to share my personal experiences as a professional educator teaching at three institutions: Erskine College in the Art Department, CEU Studio Art Instructor at Lander and Lander Alumni, and an Instructor at Piedmont Technical College; therefore, in my recent travels as a Professor promoting Education in the Arts with Passion, this new venture I joined to travel with The Lander University Program: The International Multicultural Education Programs.
My Summer 2012 Korea & China four week experiences were many, and very worthwhile.
This new Lander University International Programs promotes and embraces many positive elements not learned without taking part of the travels internationally; therefore, the focused learning of student’s and the academic professional teachers related activities designed to shared intergroup relations, and the achievement of students at a global level.
It is my belief and reasoning after the return from the four week travels; to recognize multicultural education is a very progressive work of progress, the outcome and educational goals are ideals professional teachers and administrators can learn and are constantly striving to achieve within the classroom.
I have for many years practiced in my travels to learn and apply the progressive multicultural educational techniques, these learned principles seek to promote in the exchange; educational opportunities for all students, including those from different racial, ethnic, and social-class groups.
My point of view as I continue to teach at three institutions, teaching Art Education and other core subject matters and learning in a multicultural society to embrace a Global Community is essential for personal progressive growth! Multicultural Education in the manner of studying at the International level exchange within the University program accredited level is valuable for all levels of student learning.

Multicultural education is all about the opportunities created for all students by allowing students to travel, live in the exchanging of new places other than where the students was raised, the total school environment and overall international living, so that it will reflect the individuals to diverse cultures and groups within society and within the educational international classrooms.
The International Lander Programs are very much the advantage to learn the art of Multicultural education. The travels give people of all walks of life a process in the travel experiences, because its goals are ideals that teachers and administrators should constantly strive to achieve: Building One University International Program at a time Unity Within Diversity is possible.
Thank you,
Ms. Grace Contreras,
Professor Erskine College,

This looks like a great way to learn how to approach people you don't know and fight being shy. I used a similar method when suffered from stuttering when speaking to a stranger. I just went out to the street and asked people simple questions like how to get to X.

This project, "Exploring Place through Art," is a creative way to understand culture and identity through photography and interaction. By capturing themes like "strange," "beautiful," and "American," students can explore different perspectives and engage with local people, improving communication skills. The combination of art and personal interviews makes this project a great opportunity for cultural exchange and creative learning. It’s a meaningful way to connect with the environment and community!
