The Art Room



As each day passed, my students learned more interesting things about their counterparts in Germany. They loved seeing what the art room looked like in Germany because our school does not have an art room nor does it have an art teacher. Each teacher is dutifully commissioned to teach her own art. Fortunately for my students, I had a minor in art and was a lover and promoter of the arts since childhood.

My students were fascinated by the chairs which just slid onto the children's desks in Germany. I could answer questions about the chairs to a certain extent because I had seen similar chair/desk combinations when we visited a boarding school in Ettal. You can see the unique design of the chairs which makes it very simple for the German children to get the chairs off the floor.
