Tying in to the classroom study of China, the 2/3s became familiar with traditional Chinese scroll painting, and tried their hands at creating their own scrolls. Watercolor backgrounds were painted on a vertical paper. Once dried, drops of black ink were applied to the bottom of the paper and lines representing branches were blown upward through a straw. Names were then written in Chinese, and bamboo skewers were glued to the top and bottom to allow the scrolls to look authentic and hang straight.
