How about when Frida Kahlo spent the night in jail for a crime that she didn't commit? Or, the multiple times that graffiti artist, Keith Haring was arrested for creating artwork on public property?

Frequency: available upon requestDetails: I will be looking for how the learner was inspired by the artist that they learned about that week (i.e., Did the learner use a similar technique? Did the learner use similar colors, shapes and lines? Etc.)
The learner may bring: Pencils, Pens, Sketchbook, Canvas, Crayons, Markers, Pastels, Paper, Paint, Clay, or Whatever medium they choose to work with that day.
Some sensitive topics will be mentioned during some of the lessons such as: sadness, the passing away of the artist and their family members, LGTBQ, bodily harm (specifically, when van Gogh removes his ear), racism, drug use, smoking, alcohol use, etc. I will give the student's a "trigger warning" at the beginning of a lesson which may contain sensitive content. Some lessons may show nude models in the paintings or sculptures - HOWEVER, I cover the inappropriate body parts. I give the students the option to step away from their computer when I bring up the sensitive material if they do not wish to listen or see.
Each week, about 6-10 hours is spent on the research for the artist of the week - this includes putting together the Power Point presentation. The extensive research for this class comes from a variety of sources such as, but not limited to: - Artists' websites (such as: Faithringgold.com, Beardenfoundation.org, Basquiat.com, Kingpleasure.Basquiat.com, Deborahrobertsart.com, Fridakahlo.org, Haring.com, etc. ); - Youtube videos of interviews of the artist and their family (some of which are included in the presentations); - My own travel to different cities of the exhibits of the artists (including New York City, Philadelphia, West Chester, PA, Washington, DC); - Tate.org.uk; - Smithsonian (americanart.si.edu); - Museum of Modern Art (Moma.org); - Metropolitan Museum of Art (MetMuseum.org); - Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philamuseum.org); - Wikipedia.org; - Britannica.com; - National Gallery of Art (Nga.gov); - Artnet.com; - Blackpast.org; - Blackhistory.net; - Civilrightsteaching.org; - Instagram.
