How can teachers respond to months of civil unrest, continuous coverage of systemic racism in the media, and youth-led actions to effect social change? In this three-part series, teachers will explore strategies for using art to address this current moment in the classroom—either in a physical or virtual space.

This series is organized by the Hammer Museum and the Visual and Performing Arts Education Program (VAPAE) in the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. This program is designed for generalist, art, and English language arts teachers of grades 4–12; however, all are welcome.
