Art and Social Justice 

Use an ART21 segment to ask questions, create a discussion and provoke an art making response to a socially relevant current issue involving race, class, oppression, feminism, politics, violence, or injustice. This presentation will include the viewing of the segment, but is not a report on the artist, even though the artist’s work will be evident and some facts about the artist may be important.   Your focus is on asking difficult questions and facilitation challenging conversations about important social issues. Include some kind of making activity. You may do a mix of ART21 and other media.

In addition to the presentation/discussion/experience about the artist, you will create a work of art that is influenced by this artist in some way.  It could emulate the style, be a direct or indirect copy, or an interpretation of one of the artist’s pieces. It should share the same big ideas, concerns, imagery or themes of your artist. 

Presentations Due  September 29
