You can do so with your artwork. It has the potential to change minds, whether by informing people about a global concern (like climate change), or a local one (like school start times). First, we will look at activist art that affected political and/or social realities in the past. Then, you will create your own responses to an issue you personally care about. In the process, we will go over formal art concepts, such as line, value, color theory, typography, and composition. All art mediums will be available!
