Join our colleagues at the Minneapolis Institute of Art for a free two-day in-person workshop featuring the film and award-winning curriculum units for Edo Avant Garde. Documentary filmmaker Linda Hoaglund and master teachers Angie Stokes and Kachina Leigh, along with Brenda G. Jordan, will take you into the world of Japanese painting during the Edo period (1603-1868).
Workshop will include screening of the film, curator-led tours of the current Japanese art exhibits, and hands-on workshops on Japanese painting and papermaking techniques. Breakfast and lunch provided. Some funding is also available for lodging for K-12 educators who live more than 60 minutes away from Mia. Art teachers prioritized but teachers of all subjects welcome. The Edo Avant Garde curriculum was awarded an Honorable Mention for the 2022 Franklin R. Buchanan Prize for curriculum development by the Association for Asian Studies.
