This project was part of a continuing grant, entitled ASU/Motorola Great Communities seed Grant; 2002-2003; "Bridging Generations through Arts and Technology," for educational activities within the Lao community, an underserved minority group. The primary focus of this portion of the grant was to bridge generations within the Lao community by having older members teach young members cultural traditions such as art, and for ASU staff to teach elders new traditions in technology, such as how to use a computer. In this article, the author relates her experiences as one of the two instructors working with artists from the Lao community, helping to translate Lao traditions, skills, and expertise into art-making lessons for children. (Contains 9 figures.) |
