NAZARETH AND RAMALLAH SISTER CITIES

CHILDREN’S ART EXHIBIT

My Favorite Animal

Co-sponsored by Glenn and Oakland Schools in B/N, Peace is Cool Club, and International Collection of Child Art of ISU

This exhibit aims to increase intercultural understanding between children in Israel, in Palestine, and in Bloomington-Normal. Nazareth and Ramallah Sister Cities has been sponsoring children and teacher exchanges since 1997. The art teacher in Ramallah involved with this project, Maha Dabeet, plans to visit Bloomington-Normal in June and July. The teacher in Nazareth, Kamel Barghouti, visited Bloomington-Normal last summer.

The exhibit consists of around 50 art pieces in such media as watercolor, chalk, acrylic, and woodcut by children from K through 6^th grade in 4 schools--Al Kastal in Nazareth, Israel; Future School in Ramallah, Palestine; Glenn School in Normal; Oakland School in Bloomington.

Exhibit places are McLean County Arts Center, May 3-17, Children’s Discovery Museum, May 19-29, and Interstate Center, May 31-July 5.

Children have interpreted their favorite animal as pets, zoo animals, animals in the wild, and imaginary animals. Colors and designs are rich and imaginative. Among fascinating images, there is a monkey and a cat you will never forget.
