2013 Summer Institute, "East is East, West is West? Cultural Encounter and Exchange in Art"
University of Colorado at Boulder, June 24-27, 2013
The National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) at the
University of Colorado invites applications from middle and high school
teachers of social studies, language arts, and art. The program is open
to teachers nationwide with 10 spaces reserved for teachers in the
eight-state region served by the NCTA National Coordinating Site at the
Program for Teaching East Asia (TEA), University of Colorado: Arizona,
Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
Overview: The arrival of Western powers in East Asia in the
1500s began a process of encounter and exchange that has had profound
and continuing effects on every aspect of Japanese and Chinese culture,
including the arts. At the same time, the exportation and absorption of
art from China and Japan to new markets in Europe and the United States
also influenced Western visual expression. This seminar will explore
the effects, as evidenced in visual culture, of China's and Japan's
cross-cultural encounters with Western countries, starting with the
arrival of the Jesuits in China and Japan in the mid-sixteenth century,
continuing through the "opening" of China and Japan in the
mid-nineteenth century, to the present. We will examine works through
which artists on all sides recorded the impact of these encounters as
we consider cultural transmission and appropriation.
Program Costs and Incentives:
- Teachers participating in the seminar pay a non-refundable $65 registration fee.
- Participants receive course materials and $100 stipend upon successful completion of the course.
- Breakfast and lunch provided during the four days of the program.
- Dormitory housing (double occupancy) provided for teachers farther than 40 miles from Boulder.
- Colorado participants receive a $70 mileage/parking stipend.
- Out-of-state teachers receive a travel stipend up to $250 based on cost of air tickets.
To apply, complete the online
application form and submit electronically by May 1, 2013. Applications
will be reviewed and accepted as received so early submission is
recommended.
