My Art
Positive Personal and Cultural Identity
I demonstrated the Personal Social Competency for this artifact. I can understand that my identity is made of many interconnected elements. In this art project, we had to draw something that represents our cultural identity. I drew two sides that represented my Korean and Canadian cultures and how they contrast each other. I know that despite these two cultures being different, they both are part of my identity and affect my strengths and values. I can tell what is important to me and I can explain my values. On the Korean side of the art piece, I know that my Korean background is very important to me even though I don’t have the same experience in the culture as someone born in Korea would have; however, I know that it helps me understand and connect to others, especially those who share my culture. I also know that my Canadian side of me is important as it is the side that connects to me the most because it contains all of my main memories. Both cultures have shaped my values of being aware of others and myself.
