Mandarin Students Explore Culture Through Art
Students in Mandarin I and II enjoyed a field trip to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco earlier this month where they saw exhibits on ancient China and contemporary Chinese artwork.
According to instructor Ms. Xiaozhen Li, “The field trip provides students with a window to the real world that they simply don't get in the classroom. This is a step closer to the pursuit of becoming a global citizen.”

Here’s what some students had to say:
Jarod Ricetti ’18 “found the Asian Art Museum to be quite fascinating. It was very interesting to see all the artwork from different arts of history.”
Owen Benson ’19 enjoyed the Asian Art Museum as “a place to learn about Chinese Culture through art.”
Lauren Yung ’19 noted the museum’s ability to show how people throughout the world and throughout time have expressed feeling through art. “My favorite piece was the ‘Day of Perpetual Night’ because I really like the way the artist incorporated mountains into a city setting, which could show that either we are taking over beautiful nature settings or nature is coming back to take us.”
