Abstract

I started this project with three main goals. First, being placed in an environment where the only language I can use is Chinese. During my internship everyday I studied at my art teacher' s house. Both my teacher and his students were all Chinese and nobody spoke English. My second goal was combining my interests of Chinese and another skill. Therefor I could practice Chinese, learn a new skill and specify a vocabulary of my interest in Chinese. Not only did I combine my interest of Chinese and painting but also my interest in Buddhism. My final goal was to be put in a position that I otherwise would not be able to be in if it was not for my internship. I spent over 90 hours in the home art studio, learning how to paint, eating dinner and talking with a group of Chinese that I otherwise would not of had the chance. Therefor. I managed to meet all my goals and many more during this internship
