Welcome to the One Person Can Make a Difference Kit!

In this My Museum Classroom Kit, students will explore two artists who use their artworks to identify powerful perspectives in a world struggling with cultural equality and accurate representation. Students will engage in a mindfulness moment and two close-looking exercises with specific works of art before they embark on a personal journey of artmaking. This kit is designed to empower students to believe that one person can make a difference and that the arts are a dynamic and meaningful way to start that conversation.
