My students will be creating social justice protest paintings using these canvass boards and paint. As a class we will be studying the civil rights, farmworkers, chicano, and the Portuguese Independence movements that have shaped our society. Students will explore their own ideas and issues that they find important to voice their concerns about the world around them.
With your donation my students social justice ideas can be fully realized. Some ideas that are of deep concern for my students included immigration, incarceration of the youth throughout the world. I'm finding that my students are having more in depth conversations about these issues and having the canvasses would be a great opportunity to bring to light my students concerns in a visual form. Students will learn the style of two to three color stencil registers and learn their own stencils. We will be looking at the art work of civil rights posters by Rupert Garcia, Montoya, Kate Deccio and Swoon and Oaxacan Stencil artists Lapiztola. We will also analyze the process of movement making and how images/posters have a deep impact to these movements.
