Ackland Art Museum: Issues in Asian Art Teacher Workshop

Explore some of the changing ideas about time, culture, and original context in the Ackland Art Museum’s collection of Asian art.

Director of Academic Programs Carolyn Allmendinger, curator of the exhibition Art and Cultural Exchange along the Silk Road, will offer case studies of selected objects and how recent scholarship changed how she and other scholars think about them. Learn about these and other works of Chinese, Japanese, and other art, and how to use them in K12 classrooms to support deeper student learning about and understanding of Asia.

Saturday, May 15, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Space is limited. Lunch at 35 Chinese restaurant on W. Franklin street is included.

Registration fee: $20 (in advance)
