Conservation Icons

Fifth grade students in Queens examined Russian Icons, studied conservation values in science class,and made symbolic self portraits.

Wishes for the World

The Assyrian Genies in the Galleries of the Ancient Near East in the Brooklyn Museum were once a part of an expansive temple complex in Nimrud, a city in what is now Iraq. After an inquiry-based observation, students make observational drawings which incorporate their own symbols of power and protection. The genies contemporary powers have included their ability to transform. What do you wish for the world and yourself? How can you invoke these wishes to effect the changes you need to see in yourself and the world? Appropriate for all age and ability groups.
