Asian American Culture, Food, Art, Studies, & Family

First we filled in the blanks for what all these elements of what Asian America is, was, and will be. I made these statements and added some doodles for emphasis ...

Then for the second draft/ reworking I did a drawing of my thought of how Asian American FOOD is a delicious pathway to learning about Asian American CULTURE!!!

There are so many Asians and Asian Americans out there and what better way to learn about their different cultures then by taste. Food is a huge part of culture and the way that people cook and eat can show a lot about themselves. All of the spices, herbs, veggies, meats, fruits, and life out there can definitely give you a lesson on how someone or a group of people act. You can learn about religion if they don't eat certain things, their way of life through their cooking style and ingredients, their philosophies by how much detail they put into their dishes, and much more. So we should all open our minds and our mouths to knowledge and eat and taste our way to cultural enlightenment.
