Journey with us through pivotal moments in history as we explore and utilize art as the lens and tool of social justice across the world's continents. We will learn how to analyze and identify similarities and differences of global culture, and examine a variety of creative, artistic media in this adventurous 8-week course. Students will explore different art mediums, such as painting, drawing, collage, and mosaic to discuss and create art projects that showcase social justice themes of equality, diversity, bullying, gender equality, hate of yesterday and today, and more.
