• Description: The title of this lesson is “Eye to Eye Project”. The process is very simple, but meaningful to students. Students create postcard size images, and then participate in a web art exhibition hosted around the world through posting their artworks on the website. The main aims of this project are to support the ideals of friendship between students around the world and to help understanding each other through visual communication. Also, students can understand other cultures and countries through posting images, email, on-line chatting, and discussion boards in the project website.
  Here is one example of the “Eye to Eye Project” web gallery: http://web.mac.com/fratescreates/Site/Gallery.html
  
  
• Application: I can use this lesson in my art class. I can join in the project through registering this site and meet teachers and students in many countries by email or the forum on the website. It would be very good experience for young students and students can learn to use various web communication tools through this project. Besides, they can experience various and international views to one subject. I would really like to give my students this lesson when I come back to the school in South Korea.
