    Watch the video: “A Chinese artist in Harlem”
    (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCFbQkMCfAo).

    I. Complete with the actual words used in the video: (4pts)

    a. Sometimes the diversity results in clashes between cultures. Other times positive
    outcomes result from the merging of backgrounds.

    b. At a very young age, he learned about calligraphy and painting from his father
    and has continued to paint through the more difficult times in his life.

    c. Ming set up his easel and drew and painted portraits of tourists in order to
    survive. But even for professional artist drawing on the street is not the easiest
    way to make a living.

    d. Ming […] began to work for the New York Chinese Cultural Center. Through them
    he brought his skills to Harlem and the children of public.

    e. The children view Ming as their teacher from China, but Ming sees beyond
    ethnicity. He just sees pupils who want to learn how to paint a tiger.

    f. Even though New York is already established as a diverse international city


    programs like the Chinese cultural centers still make a considerable difference.

    g. What we don’t want to do to our students is to make them ignorant to others and
    what others can

    run Ming's art may open the door to a whole different world to these children.
