Fall Educator Virtual Workshop: Storytelling in Asian Art
11:00AM-12:00PM (Pacific Time) online (PROGRAM FULL)
In this virtual workshop, educators engaged with artwork from the Seattle Asian Art Museum, as well as other pieces in the museum’s collection that drew inspiration from Asian art. They practiced facilitating conversations that drew out stories and personal connection, and heard from East Asia Resource Center’s Melanie King about how culturally specific objects tell stories.

Fall Educator In-Person Workshop: Connecting Words and Images

This in-person workshop explored how words and images come together to foster connections between artists and the world around them. Educators took in works of art from the Seattle Asian Art Museum’s collection, as well as pieces from the special exhibition Beyond the Mountain: Contemporary Chinese Artists on the Classical Forms. Participants experienced works of art that use multiple modes of artistic expression, then tried out engagement strategies to encourage students to do the same through discussing and making art
