Some of our second grade students were able to learn about relief printing from the artist Shoua Yang. The La Crosse Community Foundation helped pay for the presentation through a Global Awareness Fund grant. It was great to learn about how his culture and experiences are reflected in his artwork. It was also exciting to learn about how he creates his artwork.
He shared that he was born in a refugee camp in Thailand. You can read a book on Epic about Thailand. You can watch a video about growing up in a Thai refugee camp. There's also a cool video from Neng Now about what the camps look like now.
Here's an article about Shoua Yang.
Here's an interview with him.
Here's his business webpage Ceejv Tseg Press and there are videos showing how he creates his art.
And finally, here is a video about the mural project Shoua Yang worked on in St. Paul that he told us about in the presentation.
