Campbellsville Middle School art students make koinobori 2017-02-18 - Campbllsville Middle School, 315 Roberts Road, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Calen McKinney, Public Information Officer, Campbellsville Independent Schools (CIS). Campbellsville Middle School fifth-grader Kendra Coulter holds her koinobori. CMS art students are making koinobori wind socks to celebrate a Japanese holiday. In Japan, on Children's Day, people fly carp-shaped wind socks known as koinobori. The carp, which can swim up waterfalls, is used as a symbol for the holiday because it represents strength and courage. To make their own, CMS students in Jo Ann Harris's art classes are designing and drawing their own fish, attaching them to each other and stuffing them with recycled paper. Students are using crayons, markers, watercolors, oil pastels and more to make their koinobori creations colorful. And, when they are finished, the koinobori are hung in classrooms for display. - Calen McKinney Permalink | Comments?
