Description:

Bringing together fine art, hip hop, and anti-bias education; this session will showcase a collaborative Action Poster Series from the Blanton Museum of Art, AustinISD, Anti-Defamation League, and CREATE LAB. The posters feature a full lesson plan and action projects that invite us to critically analyze a work of art that speaks to issues of Identity relevant to K12 students. Participants will build on this by creating visual art and spoken word poetry, and engage in community building circles.
