Your Destination: Learn how to create artwork that will promote social change. You can use any artform that you are most comfortable with, like skits, plays, music, poems, murals, or art pieces.
Travel Kit: notebook, pen or pencil, art supplies (any kind)
On the Path:
Step 1 Think about what kind of social change you want to bring up. Do you want to address something specific to your own community, or do you want show support for a cause that is already known, like the #MeToo movement, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ rights, or other issues you find important?
Step 2 What type of art will you use to address your social change? Using art to promote social change is important because it makes the issue more relatable. You may look at different artists who have used their art for social change as inspiration.
Step 3 Create your artwork inspired by the social change movements you want to address, the art medium itself, and other artists who have used art to make a social change topic more relatable.
Group Tour: Ask a classmate or friend to work on the same issue as you, and see how far you can get with your artwork together.
