Representation and Inclusion Through Visual Art

Founded in 1989, Inner-City Arts is a learning oasis in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Under the guidance of professional teaching artists, Inner-City Arts’ students are immersed in a safe and supportive environment where they may engage in a variety of visual and performing art forms in a studio setting. Services include core classes during the instructional day for grade K-8 students, after school and weekend workshops for teens and creativity based professional development training for educators. Children who attend Inner-City Arts develop skills that are highly valued in the 21st century workforce such as collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.

Inner-City Arts

Educational Resources as Both Windows and Mirrors Into Diversity, Access, and Inclusion

As educators, how can we be sure that the resources we select for our classrooms are inclusive and representative of diversity and the lived experiences of our students? We&#x27;ll answer that question in this workshop as we examine visual arts resources used both in arts and academic learning spaces. We can be sure we are reaching our students with relevant materials without being heavy-handed about it. Take a fascinating look at how paintings, sculpture, literature, and more can reach our kids and engage them in ways we never imagined.Inner-City Arts always uses the arts as the starting point for learning. No prerequisite knowledge is needed. All workshops are interactive and hands-on, even online.Join us for the rest of our Fall workshops!<ul><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163586859701" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Two-Dimensional Artmaking with Discussion and Reflection Frameworks (9/8/21)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163587192697" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Social-Emotional Learning in the Classroom Through Arts Practice (9/15/21)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163599216661" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Social Justice in Drama (9/29/21)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163599874629" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Three-Dimensional Artmaking with Discussion and Reflection Frameworks (10/6/21)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/163600761281" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learning Through Movement, Kinesthetics, and Dance!
