Tan Ye Visit

8th grade students began their integrated arts/humanities study of China with a visit from Tan Ye, a University of South Carolina professor. Above, Prof. Ye is pictured with one of his paintings displayed in the new IS/MS building. Prof. Ye demonstrates the art of Chinese ink painting, teaching the students about the symbolism and techniques involved in this ancient art. Later in the study, each student will create a final painting of his/her own, defending the subject matter and symbolic meaning in the writing portion of this project.
