Photograph of an open book called Touching My Shadow. On the left page are three gray shapes, two with outstretched limbs. Reading left to right, these shapes evolve from geometric to more organic and get progressively larger. On the right page, a red outline depiction of human figure reaching out with an offering in their left hand toward a handlike structure made of five fingerlike bundles of sticks atop a pile of rocks. Additional sticks and rocks are scattered around. A gray shadow of the figure touches the constructed hand, and the hand's shadow stretches to the top right of the page.

Event Description

About the Educator Camp

NMWA’s virtual Educator Summer Camp is designed for all educators: school teachers, home school instructors, scout leaders, etc. We just ask that you come with your learners in mind and a playful spirit!

We will offer 1.5-hour sessions daily, Monday, July 27, through Friday, July 31. Sessions, inspired by the Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) Institutes and NMWA’s collection, are hands-on, participatory, and fun. Sessions will explore NMWA’s collection and resources, introduce historical and contemporary women artists, and engage participants in experimental making and close looking.

Guest instructors include artists and educators from around the country. You will receive a recommended supply list, applicable digital resources, and a Zoom meeting link in advance of each session.

Register for one session or many depending on your interest and commitments.

Session participants can request certificates of completion reflecting total earned participation hours.

About the Artist Instructor

Alayna Ho is a printmaker and book artist based in New York City. Using fabricated family history and folklore, her work builds around themes of identity, constructing improbable scenes that take place in a cultural no-man’s land or in-between space. In 2021, she received an Artist’s Book Residency Grant from Women’s Studio Workshop, Rosendale, New York, and a City Artist Corps Grant, from the New York City Artist Corps. Her work is held in private and public collections including The New York Public Library, The Library of Congress, Yale University, Harvard University, and the Rhode Island School of Design.
