General Currie Elementary • Exploring Identity
Students embarked on a journey of inquiry, exploring how external influences of people, places and things form identity as an individual, a community, a nation and a global citizen, and how these identities evolve. The students explored identity, how they express themselves, choices, empathy and inclusion in relation to two Biennale installations, A-Maze-Ing Laughter and Engagement. A variety of art forms including creative writing/poetry, spoken word, drama, dance, mask making and mask work, photography and publishing using i-pads and book creator were used to engage the students throughout the learning process.
