A Practical Guide for Including LGBTQ+ Artists in the Secondary Art Curriculum provides art educators with information about the lives and works of ten of some of the most notable LGBTQ+ artists, both historical and contemporary, that would be appropriate to include in a secondary-level art curriculum.
Emphasizing practical application and inspirational art activities that align with the National Core Standards, the book guides students in ways to grapple with issues directly affecting their lives and the lives of those around them.
Drawing on years of experience as an art education professor teaching secondary art methods and experience teaching art at the high school level, the author provides a clear path for creating an inclusive curriculum and provides a framework for how to present information in reflective and useful ways with examples of proficient and practical lesson plans.
The book chapters can be used in a sequential or nonsequential order. Chapters focus on the lives and works of Beauford Delaney, Romaine Brooks, Kehinde Wiley, Marsden Hartley, Harmony Hammond, Rosa Bonheur, David Hockney, Judith Baca, Keith Haring, and Julie Mehretu.
Art lessons make connections to the work of these artists through the art critical inquiry activities followed by studio art activities with accompanying rubrics of assessment.
QR codes throughout the book provide additional resources for the art educator and the students. The content of this book provides meaningful resources that can broaden and diversify the secondary art curriculum thereby creating visibility, awareness, and celebration of the achievements of LGBTQ+ artists.
