Learn more about the process behind Japanese woodblock printing and the artist who created the iconic The Great Wave off of Kanagawa in this virtual workshop led by SAM Educators.
Make connections between Hokusai’s artwork and curriculum in Visual Arts, Social Studies, English Language Arts, and more. Educators at SAM and the East Asia Resource Center at the University of Washington will share insights on facilitating conversations and creating projects based on the ongoing exhibition Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence, from the Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Then educators will try out art-making activities with materials they have on hand and will share ideas for how this might be adapted in their teaching settings.
Registration for this program is free. This program includes resources and Washington State Clock Hours. Classroom educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, and administrators are welcome to attend.
