Art, Advocacy and Activism Online Kids Camp

Art, Advocacy and Activism Online Kids Camp

Presented by Verge Center for the Arts at Online/Virtual Space

“The role of the Artist is to make the revolution irresistible”- Toni Cade Bambara

Art, Advocacy, and Activism will explore the many ways an individual can express their own advocacy and activism through mixed media visual arts. Through the use of color, composition, and line this class will help students understand the power art holds in social positive change. It will allow students to feel empowered by their own creation through the arts as well as teach and immerse students in various social justice and environmental movements of today. This class will encourage students to explore what they are passionate about, as well as encourage positive dialogue about social movements.

The class will introduce contemporary and non-contemporary artists that use art making as their own extension of their activism and advocacy: artists such as Kehinde Wiley, Aaron Douglas, and Eduardo Kobra.
