Self-Interned: 1942 Curriculum Guide
The Noguchi Museum in addition to featuring the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi tells an important story about dark aspects of America's past. Titled, "Self-Interned: 1942," this curriculum guide is designed to help teachers teach their children about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and Noguchi's voluntary entry into the Poston War Relocation Center. How did this experience reflected in Noguchi's art? This curriculum guide is perfect for teachers trying to bring art into a history lesson plan or vice versa, and can cumulate in a visit to a museum dedicated to a man the United States once deemed worthy of captivity.
