Paint-Mural Challenge

Objectives

explore how painting can be an avenue that they can use to represent their own identities and make meaning of what is important to them
deepen their understanding of how artists use painting as a means to convey individual, community/cultural, and national identity
contemplate how artists’ choices reveal some—but perhaps not all—aspects of their own identities
