Harness the power of creativity to celebrate your community and change the world with Anti-Racist Art Activities for Kids.
Do you think, "I'm just a kid. What can I do to make a difference?" Be an anti-racist artist! Have fun with 38 creative projects that empower you to use your art, actions, and words to create meaningful change.
Start your anti-racist art-making journey by defining ideas like race, racism, and anti-racism. Dive into six sections, beginning with self-reflection before seeking justice and taking action! Each section's theme includes an array of activity choices, including:
  • Identity – Who you are and what makes you unique.
  • Explore your identity and create a symbol that represents you.
  • Culture – Your way of life and honoring what others value about theirs.
  • Make a textile design inspired by your home and culture.
  • Community – Connecting to people and places.
  • Challenge your implicit biases and discover how to draw diverse people.
  • Empathy – Understanding others and having compassion.
  • Learn the meaning of equity by solving real-world math problems with art.
  • Justice – Making a society that is fair for all.
  • Create a miniature billboard that comments on a social issue.
  • Activism – Creating change and transforming our communities.
  • Mail a postcard to a politician that informs them of what you would like to see change.

  • Other activities include designing a community mural and organizing people to make a positive change. As you work through the pages and explore the many parts of being an anti-racist artist, you will learn various art-making skills and engage with different materials such as paint, clay, textiles, and recycled materials. At the back, a helpful glossary defines terms that come up in anti-racist discussions, from "activism" to "white supremacy."
    This book is just a starting point, and the possibilities are endless. There is no limit to your imagination and your impact!

        Starred review from June 30, 2023

        Gr 3-7-With 38 hands-on art projects, this book puts the tools of anti-racist work into the hands of teachers and students alike. Projects are divided into six topics: identity, culture, community, empathy, justice, and activism. Chapters open by outlining the definition and objectives of the topic, while each project features a section on "why this matters," to tie into the chapter topic and ideas for future ways to apply the concept in real life. Lessons and objectives are thoughtfully presented and organized to be informative without becoming overwhelming. The art projects are creative as well as practical and can realistically be used in classrooms and at home. Featuring color photos and bright blocks of text, this art book is visually stimulating and exciting. Appendixes include visual references, a glossary, about the authors, and index. VERDICT Highly recommended for teachers and school libraries.-Savannah Kitchens
