Lesson Plans

Creative Connections invites educators from around the world to send us lesson ideas based on using pieces from our art archive to expand student cultural awareness and understanding. We will review them and post many of them on this site.

Here are the first two:

1) Japanese Traditions
(for high school) An innovative lesson plan using contemporary Japanese art and the internet

2) Water and Japanese Culture
(for upper elementary and middle school) A look at how water and culture are interlinked in Japan
