By studying the Black Culture students will build a stronger identity of themselves that can reduce poor self-esteem, cynicism and apathy so common among many adolescents.
Culture channels, molds, and modifies a good deal of human biological functioning. Some patterns of every culture crystallize about the inevitabilities of man’s existence as a biological organism.
By looking at and studying works of Art, students will learn to examine closely how they and others perceive the world. Students will learn to see and appreciate more of the visual form of Art. Students will develop a variety of skills including: analyzing, interpreting and an appreciation for Art.
Students will see that the artwork can have an influence on the culture and how the people of that culture view themselves. Students will also learn to recognize similarities and differences between cultures.
