Special to Korea?

Investigations and activities (Arts Focus)

Shamanism is reflected in many of the performing arts in Korea. Some of the traditional music and dances have grown out of shamanistic practices. Drumming and folk dancing are two examples. Find other examples of traditional Korean art, performance and music. What is the influence of religious practices on the arts, performance and music in Korea? You can use references from the Koreana journal to research these topics.

The My Place website explores what is special to students in a number of countries. Draw a Venn diagram comparing the images of Australian and Korean students.
