    Why do you think the representation of diverse identities in American art is important? 
    I think diversity and inclusion in art ensure various perspectives experiences and the narratives have’s a voice. When we see ourselves and our stores reflects in our art it validates our existence and foster a sense of belonging. Art engaging with identity has led to greater awareness and major change in the way museums, galleries, and critics treat work by historically marginalized groups. It also represents a new sense of authenticity to art.
    What do you think we should teach our future generations about historically marginalized identities when they are not represented in art? 
    Teaching future generations about historically marginalized identities can help combat stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It also can empower individuals to challenge social norms and advocate for equality. As we incorporate diverse perspectives and experience into art education future generations can learn to appreciate the richness and complexity of human identity. This can foster a more inclusive and equitable society where all individuals are valued and celebrated for who they are.  Our future generation should be taught about the importance of diversity, inclusion, and representation in order to promote empathy, understanding, and respect for historically marginalized identities that are not represented in art.

    Hello Everyone,
    I believe that it is important to have diverse identities in American ark because this way we can expand and increased visibility and recognition for underrepresented groups. By showcasing a variety of perspectives, artists can challenge stereotypes and promote understanding and empathy among viewers. Sometimes, people may feel more interested in artwork that was created by an artist that has something in common with them. By example, the reading resources for this week showed how the worst represented group in the US art are women of color. (H. Bishara. 2019). If there is a viewer that feel more identify with art created by women of color as a form of inspiration, this person won’t have the same opportunity to find artists that they feel connected to. Diverse representation in American art can inspire creativity and innovation by exposing viewers to new ideas and perspectives. By embracing diversity in art, we can create a more vibrant and dynamic cultural landscape that reflects the true diversity of a nation.
    As we look to educate future generations about these marginalized identities, a good approach could be to incorporate more diverse perspectives into art education curriculum, highlighting artists from underrepresented backgrounds and exploring their unique stories and struggles. By doing so, we can help students develop a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of history, society, and foster critical thinking skills. Based on the video that we watched this week, (How a group of women in this small Alabama town perfected the art of quilting) I believe that it is imperative to share more of this value information with not just students, but in general, because it is important to learn about the journey that some people have to endure to be able to create art.

  • “The Impact of Cultural Appropriation in Contemporary Art: A Critical Analysis”

    Final text due before class on Friday 10 May 2024 (sessions 28+29). With the aim of being informed about the topic you have chosen for your exhibition, this task consists in writing an individual text (1000-1500 words) of research on a theme.
    In addition to this academic research on the topic, some classwork and homework will be set to develop the exhibition project (in groups and/or individually). In this way, by session 30, the project will conclude in class, with a selection of artworks, objects and/or performances to be included in the show.
    1) Purpose
    Choose a topic from the given list and plan a piece of research on a particular idea that you want to focus on.
    Imagine this text is going to be published in an exhibition catalogue, alongside other essays on different aspects of the same topic. You are the expert in your field, and the research you do is a necessary part of planning the exhibition.
    2) Length
    1000 to 1500 words (excluding the reference list and appendix).
    The length of the paper is not an indicator of quality. Effective writing is precise, with no redundant, pointless, or self-evident information. Repetitive ideas and waffle/prattle will result in points being deducted. Like solving a Rubik’s cube, enjoy putting words together for a streamlined and smooth result.
    3) Structure
    3.1 Introductory Paragraph
    Present the topic of research. If you want, you can write in the first person, and include personal ideas and viewpoints.
    3.2 Body Paragraphs (3 to 5 paragraphs)
    Each body paragraph must contain useful information that brings awareness on some aspect of the topic. Typically, each paragraph will reference several sources (with correct in-text citations, in APA7 style). Where needed, begin and end with transitions (guide ideas from one paragraph to the next).
    3.3 Conclusion – summarize the research and conclude.
    4) Sources researched
    A minimum of 5 credible sources are expected, for example newspapers and art magazines. At least 1 of the sources must be an article from a reputable academic journal. Research on minority cultures may be harder to find, and this added difficulty will be taken into account when evaluating. Sources can be in any language you speak.
    Find diverse evidence. Get different perspectives, to present a rounded view.
    Incorporate the evidence into the essay with in-text citations that comply with APA 7 guidelines https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations.
    Reference list on a separate page (in alphabetical order, APA style 7th edition) https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references.
    5) Formatting
    Effort to present the document with great attention to detail will be rewarded.
    However, design and formatting that obstructs the reading will be penalized.
    6) Appendix: A.I. DISCLAIMER
    The use of Artificial Intelligence is not forbidden, but it is not encouraged, on the grounds that it rarely helps to develop creativity and research skills. In all cases, an Appendix must be included, to disclose any use of Chat GPT or any other AI tools, including Grammarly, used during the process of research and writing, whether or not you integrate the output generated by the tool.
    At the end of your essay, after the Reference List, include an Appendix titled A.I. DISCLAIMER. On this page, list all the Artificial Intelligence tools you have used. Explain what you used them for, and paste the prompts you inputted, plus how you used the text it generated.
    If you didn’t use any AI tools at all, you are still required to include this Appendix, but specify “no AI tools used”.
