    I believe I mentioned this in my previous post about diversity awareness. I mentioned in that post that I believe educators should let students have freedom to choose projects, seats and supplies. I believe that this freedom will not only allow students to feel included but also it will distribute power. Power should not be held solely by the teacher as Judy Chicago mentions. The teacher should give the students freedom and I believe this will allow for the distribution of power throughout the classroom.

    Transforming art curriculum. Expanding the classroom so that everyone is included is not necessarily a simple task but, one that should be taken very seriously. By taking in the interests of each individual student and allowing for them to discover art for themselves is one way I believe this can be achieved. Allowing them to choose their seats and projects could also help with this. It may be easier said then done, but just creating a community of learners, explorers, and artists without stereotypes and hierarchy that is established at the beginning of the year. If the children know they are accepted in a class and that they have the opportunity to explore new things, it will be more beneficial for us as future teachers and them as developing humans. I believe by giving the students a certain amount of freedom, it will allow for students of all races, genders, etc. to feel included in the classroom.
