Past Collaboration Highlights

Asia Society Collaboration

Studio in a School and the Asia Society have been collaborating for seven years on the "School Art Project." The program, run by Nancy Blume of the Asia Society, offers a few Long Term Program sites a chance to participate in an in-depth exploration of a current Asia Society exhibition. Artist-teacher teams are first invited to an exhibition walk-through and a workshop to explore exhibition themes and curriculum connections. The program wonderfully integrates art with classroom studies by giving students the chance to look closely at work by artists from other countries, to learn about what is important to those artists, and what they want to express through their art. The teams then return with their students who tour the show guided by an Asia Society Educator. In addition to working in their sketchbooks, they discuss issues relating to Asian values, culture, and art. Returning to their school art studios, they work with classroom teachers and STUDIO artist/instructors to respond to what they've learned by creating their own works of art. The artwork is then displayed in an exhibition in the spring. Speeches by students and adults celebrate the annual event at an elegant reception hosted by the Asia Society.
