Educator Workshop: Shanghai
Saturday, March 13
9:00 am-2:00 pm
$20; advance registration required: schools@asianart.org
Using artworks from this exhibition, teachers can inspire students to explore their cultural identity. Dr. Michael Knight, the museum’s curator of Chinese art, will share the story of the special exhibition, illuminating the historic relationship between the city of Shanghai and San Francisco. Shanghai-born artist Ren Ming will discuss his experiences as an artist trained in the socialist-realist style during the Cultural Revolution—and how this training, along with traditional influences, informs his contemporary work. This workshop includes a lecture, a docent-led tour, and a brushpainting workshop.
