The Art of Gaman Quick Write: Prediction What do you think Japanese American internee artwork will be able to tell us about life inside the relocation and internment camps?

The Art of Gaman Think-Pair-Share What purpose did art serve in the relocation and internment camps?

The Art of Gaman Art as a Physical Necessity At first internees created objects to make their living spaces more habitable. Barracks were often empty besides one cot for each person so internees searched for scrap wood and tools. Scrap wood and tools were available since the camps were still being built even as internees were being moved in. Objects Created: tables, chairs, cribs, dressers etc

The Art of Gaman Art as an Emotional Necessity: Art eventually became a way to relieve boredom and the feeling of uselessness the internment created within many people. Camp Administration supported the creation of art schools as a means of keeping internees happy so that they would not rebel. Arts skills were often self taught and objects were most often made out of the natural materials surrounding the camp. Objects Created: sculptures, paintings, brooches, baskets etc
