Both classes indicated expectation of seeing “Gunpowder artwork”, and had previewed some of Cai’s art work prior to visit. Majority of the students were engaged in close looking discussions- i.e canvas on the moon, return to darkness, pray for protection
I would direct the students to look other art works in Room 5. The students are drawned to stop and sit in front of the Inverted Pyramid on the Moon. Student responded with silence when I asked them to come up with artwork they would show for beings in outer space.
This is the first time that I experienced students eager to respond to activities and share thoughts.

Hi Rose,
I had same experience with inverted pyramid. That art work is one of difficult art works to make conversation. I once asked student to draw a picture of what do you want to show to the alien. They were very creative.
