What Do You Meme? Art, Civic Action, and Students
Description
How can art inspire us to act? Can a meme be more than just a meme? Does close looking allow students enough space to connect with works of art? Before we can act, we must learn. Join SAAM educators as they explore ways to use art, memes, and close looking to get students thinking about themselves, the issues that face their communities, and ways that they can effect change. This session will demonstrate gallery activities that educators can use to inspire students to make positive change in their communities.
