Black History/ Activist Art

In celebration of Black History Month students chose an Iconic African American figure to parallel their own identity with. Students investigated ways of symbolizing the similarities and differences of their icon to themselves. They explored varieties of media and overcame the struggle of the process of  experimentation. Students took ownership over their work and reflected upon their investigation of self and artistry through writing and critique.
