“City Town and Country”
Visit a tranquil village in Israel on a warm sunny day, a town in Japan snuggled under a blanket of snow, an afternoon market day in a Mexican countryside. We journey to other countries and see how people live their everyday lives in their own environment.
“Portraits in Many Lands”
See the faces of Iran, Italy, Korea, Germany, Poland, Zimbabwe and other countries. We visit a bullfighter from Spain and many family portraits in this exciting exhibit of the diverse cultures.
“Rediscovery”
A big red dragon from British Columbia, colorful Danish houses, swimming in Taiwan, an Ethiopian mountain village. Rediscover art forms used by famous artists such as Picasso, Degas and Chagall as children interpret their discoveries using various art techniques.
“Frederico”
Spanish gypsy child Frederico celebrates country life with colorful watercolors of a watchful parrot, visiting giraffes, stalking flamingos, and a startled lion. These exceptional watercolors are a one person exhibit of an exceptionally gifted artist.
