Location: Smith College Museum of Art, 20 Elm Street at Bedford Terrace, Northampton, MA 01060

*Limited to 20 participants*

How do we define “ancient history” cross-culturally? Learn about how SCMA expanded the scope of its display and diversified the representation in its reinstalled Ancient World Gallery with the inclusion of coins, vessels, sculptures and objects of daily life and the afterlife from China, Korea and Japan. Enjoy an exclusive exhibition tour by Yao Wu, SCMA's Jane Chace Carroll Curator of Asian Art, accompanied by a presentation by Jesse Watson, a lecturer in Smith College’s History Department and interactive object-based lessons modeled by Gina Hall, educator for school and family programs.  

This workshop is ideal for teams of art and history-social science teachers who might wish to develop a cross-disciplinary unit of study, but individual teachers are also welcome. Participants will receive a certificate of completion for 4 contact hours and classroom and resource materials. Morning refreshments will be provided.
