My Water, My Story

Water Blues by Scottsdale-based artist Mitra Kamali inspired this lesson, inviting students to explore the importance of water through contemporary art. They study the artwork, reflect on their own relationship with water, and create multimedia artworks combining images, color, drawings, and words.
