The Arts of Korea: A Resource for Educators

This boxed set-which includes a 167 page book with maps, an illustrated timeline, a chronology, and a glossary-presents a highly useful introduction to Korean art. The materials describe Korea's artistic achievement and place it in the context of its history and religions. Works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection are used to illustrate the diversity and beauty of Korean art; these objects are reproduced in forty slides and in digital format on a CD-ROM. The packet also provides useful teaching tools for the secondary school classroom, bibliographies for educators and students, and lists of relevant Web sites, cultural resources, and film and video resources.
