PROJECT SUMMARY
\nThe Wing Luke Museum seeks teaching artists to develop and implement studio visual arts curriculum intended for high school aged youth in any medium for the summer, fall, and winter quarters of the 2020\/2021 YouthCAN Program. Creative work produced by youth will culminate into a group exhibit at the end of each quarter in the Frank Fujii Youth Space at the Wing Luke Museum. The required commitment per selected teaching artist is one quarter.<\/p>\n
MUSEUM BACKGROUND
\nThe Wing Luke Museum is the nation\u2019s only museum dedicated to the pan-Asian Pacific American community and is located in Seattle\u2019s Chinatown-International District. The Wing\u2019s mission is to connect everyone to the rich history, dynamic cultures, and art of Asian Pacific Americans through vivid storytelling and inspiring experiences to advance racial and social equity.<\/p>\n
YOUTHCAN
\nYouthCAN is a free, afterschool arts program hosted at the Wing Luke Museum for high school students, ages 14-19. The program is designed to provide exposure to arts professions, increase knowledge and familiarity with the Chinatown-International District, build community and leadership, and to connect with the museum, its mission, and its programs.<\/p>\n
SCOPE OF WORK
\nThe selected teaching artist per quarter will be expected to collaborate with YouthCAN staff in overall planning and implementation of the curriculum for that quarter. This work includes attending planning meetings, conducting independent research, creating learning goals, developing and executing four-week intensive (summer quarter; including participation with the museum\u2019s outdoor summer music event, JamFest, and optional participation with local block party, Hai! Japantown) or an eight-week (fall\/winter quarters) program schedule of activities. Exact teaching schedule within each quarter will be determined with the selected teaching artist. Visual arts studio projects should be appropriate for high school aged youth between the ages of 14-19 and with varying art and English-speaking capabilities.<\/p>\n
