Rationale
As they progress into high school, your students will become more aware of the modern world and the issues within society. This Arts Education Package is developed around the topic of racism and racial conflict. Students will explore a collection of artworks related to the topic and compare, contrast, interpret and appraise these works to develop a deeper understanding. The activities within this package are designed to help the students develop their knowledge and relationship with these issues in society and learn techniques to communicate their opinions and emotions through their art. At the end of the unit the students will develop their own artwork about racial conflict and reflect upon the creative journey and appraise their final artwork.
