From Belinda: The "Make Art/Stop AIDS" article described the way artists in India are trying to reachout to the general public to educate them about the virus. Besides finding out what HIV/AIDS is and how to prevent the disease, this article would be a good way of expanding their interest: they could find out the prevalence of the disease and projections of its spread. Students can come up with parallels to create art that would educated our community and culture(s) about AIDS.
AnonymousThis site is a treasure for music teachers and classroom teachers alike. They offer many products geared toward music from all around the world. You can get everything from world instruments to videos and books to activities all geared toward world music. I use several products in my classes that I've found at music in motion. I have some wonderful videos on music from Japan, China, The Middle East, India and Java.

Anonymousrootsworld.com is a great source for music from around the world. Here you can sample world music and read reviews of world music as well as reading articles about music from all over Asia. This is a great place for teachers to do research when they are preparing for a unit on world music.
AnonymousHere's a great page with a very general overview of some of the styles of Southeast Asian music. You don't have to become an ethnomusicologist to be able to communicate some good info to your students!
AnonymousThis is a lesson plan developed by a kindergarten teacher for teaching students to create Wayang Kulit puppets associated with Javanese gamelan music. It includes a description of the music and the instruments used in the gamelan orchestra.
AnonymousI am developing a unit on Japanese literature for my 8th grade English lit classes. I used one of Lynne Miyake's recommended sites for the artwork. "The Tale of Genji in Scrolls" is a beautiful site featuring luscious paintings for each of the 16th chapters in the "Tale of Genji." The text is mostly in Japanese, so it's not great for information resources, but the art is divine!

AnonymousI found a great web site on Japanese art
http://www.japansociety.org/events/upcoming.cfm
I received this website from my graduate alumni relations. There is an art gallery exhibition on the post war Japan Shomei Tomatsu considered one of the greatest post war photographers of Japan. The exhibition runs from Spet 2004 to January 2005 in New York. Of course, if you cannot make it, you can visit this site. I really like the synopsis on the artist and what is the best thins about this site is that there is a k-12 teacher's corner you can click on to find more about Japanese life and art. Hope you check it out.

AnonymousHere is another wonderful "Tale of Genji" website. The site is quite extensive and gives the entire tale in 3 parts accompanied by excellent drawings. This is a great site if you need the basics about the "Tale of Genji." The black and white artwork looks like woodblock prints. The drawings are good examples of the Japanese angles, flat planes, patterns and perspective that so inspired the Impressionists in late 19th century Europe. Check it out!

AnonymousMy lesson plan is on footbinding and writing a persuasive composition. Our English department will be stressing this type of composition early in the semester, so I'll have a head start.
My page needs some fine tuning, but the hourglass is almost empty so I decided to stop for now. I'm so grateful to the computer person at Venice High for putting it on the school site--one less thing for me to worry about!

AnonymousLast weekend I took a trip to San Francisco and had a chance to visit the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. It is located behind city hall in United nations plaza. I got to see the Geisha: Behind the painted smile exhibit. It's only open for another couple of weeks 🙁 .
When I returned home I decided to check out their website and I found it very thorough! A really well-designed site!
