Religions on the Move: Visualizing Cultural Shifts
Description
How can art and artifacts inspire students to make sense of history and cross-cultural exchange? Join the National Museum of Asian Art in this interactive program that explores how religious ideas were shared in cultures along the Silk Roads and how art objects are evidence of cultural diffusion. Engage in object inquiry strategies that encourage observing, reasoning, and visible thinking. Practice Project Zero thinking routines to make empathetic connections to present-day migration and cultural interactions. Leave with digital resources to enhance your teaching with National Museum of Asian Art collections.
