 1)  Class studies painting, “Ethnic Mirrors” by Eliane Cristina Testa.
      Artist’s comments are read aloud.

---

 2)  Class discussion. (suggested questions):

 •  Notice that artist is Brazilian. What do you know about Brazilian people - ethnically diverse, or not?

 •  What cultures are represented here?

 •  Do any faces here reflect those found in your community?

 •  What might the artist mean when she says women have a collective soul? True, or not?

 •  Why do you think the artist called her faces an “ethnic mirror?”

 •  How do you think people react when they see a lot of people from a group different than their own? Does this elicit a positive or negative response?

 •  If negative, what do you think it would take for people to embrace social diversity as something positive?

 3)  Art Activity: Create a collage that expresses diverse faces from your own community. (include economic differences, age differences, and so forth). Symbolic representations of illustrating different ethnic groups might be done instead of portraits.
