ABSTRACT
1) Statement of the problem:
How can art education help students deconstruct stereotypical imagery and
develop meaningful artwork? How can art lessons help students construct positive
identity imagery and develop meaningful artwork?
2) Procedures:
I field-tested a unit of three lessons based on identity through self-portraiture to
help students investigate the topic of identity in relation to personal and cultural
sense of self. Student’s artworks, reflections and responses were analyzed.
3) Conclusions:
Art lessons can help students construct positive identity and develop positive
imagery. Art lessons can help students deconstruct negative stereotypical imagery and
develop meaningful imagery.
