Artist and calligrapher Sung-Sook Hong Setton visited four schools in the Half Hollow Hills School District in Long Island, New York, as well as the East-West School of International Studies in Flushing, New York, to introduce students to the art of Korean brush painting and calligraphy. At her workshops, Setton provided students with Korean rice paper, brushes and ink and taught them about basic Korean brushstroke patterns and the cultural meanings they represented. The students were enthusiastic about the new material, and by the end of the session were able to paint Korean words such as 어머니 (mother) and 아버지 (father). The program venues and dates were as follows: East-West School of International Studies (November 30); Sunquam Elementary School (December 14); Candlewood Middle School (December 18); Otsego Elementary School (December 18); Vanderbilt Elementary School (December 20).
