Silla Korea: The Silk Road's Unknown Key Player

2011 11 08 silla korea icon

A small group of teachers convened during the Fall 2011 Conference to learn about Korea’s role in the Silk Road. The workshop was led by art historian Dr. Cornelius Chang who provided the historical background of the famous Sokkuram Grotto located in Kyongju, South Korea. Teachers were shown how the confluence of Roman architecture and Buddhist ideals gave rise to Korea’s unique Ghandara style. Educator Rachel Song led the transition into ways to integrate hands on activities into lessons.
