[Lacie Solt]

I personally feel that art has the power to change the world. Activism and speaking out through the means of art making and art practices has been something that’s been done so many times throughout the years. Some artists and activists use their art as their act of change, a way of starting a conversation. It’s important that artists are using their voice to express through their art because in visual culture, your artsy people or non artsy people get to see the problems and injustice whether it’s a sticker, t-shirt, flyer, etc. To encourage art regarding activism and opinions being expressed in the classroom, it’s essential to set up an inclusive and judgement-free classroom. Students need to know that what they believe or what they need to speak up about or express through their work always matters whether it be an unpopular opinion or not.
