I am a little ashamed to say that I do not use art as literacy as much as I should in the classroom. Art is usually a craft, an afterthought, a fun activity. While we use photographs and pictures to make inferences, draw conclusions, and practice other comprehension skills, art is not the used as a source of literacy. Something I can definitely improve on.

I used murals in my classroom this school year. My sister and I are dual language teachers and we did a unit on muralism. We read and learned about a famous Mexican artist. Students then were able to reflect their ideas, thoughts, and culture in their own murals. We also created and published a book about immigration in which my students shared a deeply touching immigration story. They wanted readers to understand the plight of an immigrant in order to understand them more.

Chappell and Cahnmann-Taylor (2013) state that we need to stop “leaving the arts to ‘experts only’ and isolating multicultural education as exclusively relevant to minority community learning (because this) robs teachers and students of significant opportunities for critical, creative, cross-cultural engagement” (Chappell and Cahnmann-Taylor, 2013, p. 260).
