Borderline Cases
In this project we researched cases of unaccompanied minor immigrants and then created art pieces centering around 5 essential questions. I chose to make my art piece about Acculturation vs. Assimilation.
Essential Questions:
1. Why do people immigrate to other countries? 2. What are the challenges they might face when entering a new country? 3. What is the difference between acculturation and assimilation? 4. What things are essential or necessary to achieve success in the US? 5. Is there an American dream? Is it for everyone? |
Presenting my art piece at exhibition was difficult because I did not now how people were going to react to my artist statement. I was really proud of my work because I put a lot of time and thought into it.
