A day filled with exciting activities

This weekend the Basak Altan's California College of Art Industrial Design Students visited BTS to test and get our community's feedback on the amazing educational tools they are designing as a part of their Sustainable Design Course work. The third classroom also painted with Ebru with the guidance of Meltem Hanim and the first and second groups practiced their songs for Children's Day Festival. Among the activities of the weekend, were also our science teacher Taliha Hanim’ s exciting science experiments.

Ebru painting on a rainy day

On a very rainy spring morning, Berkeley Turkish Students learned how to paint Ebru, the Turkish art of marbling.  This magical art form is done by creating designs and sprinkling color pigments on a tray of water and then transforming this pattern to paper. We thank Meltem Hanim for volunteering her time at our school and teaching our children this magical ancient art form. The beautiful work of our children will be for sale as a part of our school's fundraiser at our children's day festival.
