This book captures the experiences of children in U.S. public
schools and how they utilize artmaking to disrupt injustices they
face. These first-time authors, who represent school children,
parents, teachers, and community leaders, focus on artmaking for
social change. Their first-tellings provide thought-provoking
insights regarding the impact of artmaking on their capacity to
promote social justice-oriented work in K-12 school communities. As
the U.S. continues to experience significant demographic shifts,
including increases of homeless children, children identified with
learning differences, thousands of refugees and immigrants,
children living in poverty, children in foster care, and increasing
numbers of Children of Color, those who work in schools will need
to know how to address disparities facing these underserved
communities. These U.S. demographic shifts and issues facing
underserved populations provide opportunities for children,
teachers, families, and school leaders to deepen their
understanding regarding their experiences within their communities
and K-12 schools as well as ways to interrupt oppressive practices
and policies they face every day through art as social action.
Authors call upon decision-makers who serve children from
disenfranchised populations to utilize artmaking to create equal
access for children to explore social justice, equity, reflective
practices, and promote authentic social action and change through
artmaking. Authors reflect on this artmaking process as a catalyst
for increasing consciousness, creating imaginative possibilities,
and facilitating meaningful change in schools. Authors urge readers
to create equal access art spaces to build bridges among schools,
families, and communities. Together, they contend that artmaking
promotes courageous conversations and encourages the exploration of
what it means to live this significant work.
