Tet project assignment

As Tet is approaching, we are continuing with our "Tet book". For this week, your task will be similar to the last assignment, where you will draw a picture of one aspect of Tet and have a small research to go with it.

- Sanny : kitchen god
- Kimberley: visiting relatives
- Nhan Thu: tranh Đông Hồ (famous painting)
- Yuen Yin: Câu đối Têt
- Jessica: chợ Tết ( Tet market)
- Jinny: year of the snake
- Quoc Linh: watermelon

The rest of the class will product a painting about Tet. Think of it as a front cover page, you can include many items, views of Tet. For the front cover, you don't need to have research to go with it, but I'll be expecting a more details and better quality painting.

The assisgnment is due next Monday, 4th January.

See me if you have any questions, especially those with specific item to do. Below are some examples of the cover that you could do.

Cheers,

Chinese Zodiac Legend

Chinese Zodiac from James O'Sullivan

Zodiac Animals

 

For a long time there has been a special relationship between humans and the 12 zodiacal animals. It is believed that the years represented by the animals affect the characters of people who were born on that year. This is the order of the animals ( some zodiac animals change according to different culture): rat, ox, tiger, cat, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Your Vietnamese culture homework for this week is to research about one animals and post it as a comment for this blog entry. There are also the 4 mythical creatures that you can do your research on : dragon, Chinese unicorn, turtle and phoenix.
