Korea: Land of Diamond Mountains
The Newark Museum
These lessons for middle and high school encourage students to look longer and more closely at objects, both in advance and during a gallery visit; increase their articulation and vocabulary skills by focusing on the use of descriptive language; improve their listening skills; develop interpretation skills; and improve their capacity to synthesize information. Object Observation stimulates curiosity and confidence among students when they engage in “accountable talk.” Students will complete a related art making activity after viewing works in the Korean collection. Provided is an example for the Munjado Screen. Students, now familiar with the Munjado Screen and concepts of Neo-Confucianism in Korean society, will get the chance to make their own Munjado screen. They will decide what types of virtues would be important for their screens and what types of symbols communicate those virtues. They will be asked to present the choices they made on their screen in a small group or to the class.
