A curriculum unit inspired by the work of Xiaoze Xie, a contemporary Chinese painter, that explores how artists see and comment on historic and current events through the visual arts. Lessons focus on the Cultural Revolution, newspapers and printed media, as well as issues of censorship, connecting visual art content to social studies.

ArtsBridge at the University of Oregon, part of the ArtsBridge America network, works in partnership with local public schools to provide high-quality arts education to K-12 school children. Stipends are given to those undergraduate and graduate students who teach the arts and lead projects in art, drama, dance, and music.

K-12 teaching opportunities are available for top UO students in the visual and performing arts. UO students (scholars) interested in participating in UO ArtsBridge are asked to complete a scholar application form and mail it to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
