During our unit on Identity, we will have an in-depth artist study of Amina Brenda Lynn Robinson's work. Like Amina, we will explore ourselves as unique individuals. Students will have the opportunity to engage themselves in our Windows and Mirrors Space. This well equipped space near two big windows will provide mirrors, markers, paint, heavy duty paper, brushes, glue, hot glue, mod-podge and an assortment of feathers, beads, strings, gems, etc to mimic the works of Robinson through exploring our own faces as we see ourselves and as other's see us. We will design works that express our beauty through our own eyes, discovering unique ways to express our attitudes and appearance through art and design. Many African American children struggle to accept the natural beauty in their skin, hair texture and facial features. We will explore some identity issues that are prevalent in our community and use self-portraits to open the door to a renewed sense of self-esteem, pride and confidence.
