Associate Professor of Art History Stephen J. Goldberg, in collaboration with Melissa Davies, Picker Art Gallery educator, Michael Holobosky, Colgate University graphic artist and imaging specialist, and Kathryn Sabino, AP global history and social studies teacher, Hamilton Central School, conducted “Frames of Engagement: Looking at Asia through Art,” a professional development seminar for teachers, at Colgate University’s Picker Art Gallery, from August 17-21. This was co-sponsored by the gallery and Madison-Oneida BOCES/Mid-State Teacher Center. K-12 teachers participating in the weeklong seminar received 30 hours in-service credit hours.
K-12 teachers were introduced to methods of teaching about Asian culture and society using dynamic digital presentations, podcasts, object-based inquiry, and first-hand experience with Indian, Chinese, and Japanese art objects from the Picker Art Galley’s permanent collection. Teachers also created curricular materials for immediate use in Colgate’s Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology.
