Dates:\u00a0Friday, June 24th to Sunday, June 26th (three-day workshop)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Location: In-person at the Seattle Asian Art Museum<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

This workshop was held at the recently renovated Seattle Asian Art Museum<\/a> where educators found themed galleries that intersperse works from different regions, as well as from ancient to contemporary times. While the South Galleries feature art in spiritual life and the North Galleries showcase art in material life, there are crossovers throughout as a testimony of often layered meanings in works of art.\u00a0 In the Special Exhibition Galleries, <\/span>Embodied Change: South Asian Art Across Time<\/span><\/i><\/a> contains artwork that explore the human body and its connection to social, political, and normative fictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This three-day intensive workshop<\/strong> connected the themes of various galleries to curriculum across subjects, including Social Studies, Visual Art, World History, Language Arts, Asian Studies, and Art History.\u00a0 It was aimed primarily at teachers of high school and\/or teachers of lower grade levels who regularly use and incorporate art, art history, ancient history, religion and\/or languages and literature into their classroom teaching. Participants had a chance to engage with resources firsthand, then explore what can be brought back to the classroom.\u00a0 EARC seminar leader, Melanie King<\/a><\/strong>, along with museum educators, Yaoyao Liu<\/strong> and Lauren Kent<\/strong> of the Seattle Art Museum<\/a> provided frameworks for integrating the collection at the Seattle Asian Art Museum into the teaching practice.<\/span><\/p>\n
