New project about paintings

Students from the Gymnasium im Gustav-Heinemann-Schulzentrum soon start a conversation with American students about:

- paid work (after school and during term break) and after schoolwork
- holidays - keeping traditions alive
- sport
- take your child to work day (do you still do this?)
- migration and immigration (minortities and ethnic groups)
- eating habits

The German students use the catalouges "Born of fire" and "Feuerländer" to find examples of paintings, that show seasons. The class will search for similar motifs in the Ruhr Valley and
photograph them. Later the students will analyze them in the school lessons and create a video.
