A classroom is built on the voices, hands, and ideas of every child within it.

This display is a reminder that we each bring something unique to the table, but it’s in coming together that we create something truly special.

The arts have a unique ability to bring people together, spark creativity, and foster understanding.  Here are some engaging and respectful ideas for incorporating cultural diversity through the arts in your classroom:

1. Study Diverse Artists: Introduce your students to artists like Alma Thomas (African-American), Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese), Frida Kahlo (Mexico), El Anatsui (Ghana), or Pauline Bewick (Irish). Use their work as inspiration for your students’ own creations.

2. World Music Listening Sessions: Play music from different countries, such as West African drumming, Indian classical music, or Irish traditional tunes. Discuss the instruments and rhythms used, and how music reflects cultural identity.

3. Exploring Folktales Through Performance: Share folktales or legends from different cultures, such as Anansi the Spider (West Africa/Carribean), The Legend of the Rainbow Serpent (Indigenous Australian), The Bremen Town Musicians (Germany), or The Children of Lir (Ireland). Students can create simple performances that focus on the emotions or lessons within these stories.

4. Cultural Dance Videos: Show videos of traditional performances, like céilí dancing, Maori haka, samba, gumboot dance. Use these as starting points for discussions about culture and identity.

Two cute clay penguins by Senior Infants during our ‘Polar Explorers’ theme in January. 🤩 The kids were told they could create any polar animals they would like to. We had a huge collection of penguins, polar bears, artic hares, snowy owls, seals, eggs, fish, and even some igloos to match.
