"African Mask-Making Workshop: Professional Development Experiences of Diverse Participants" discusses how K-12 art teachers can incorporate the making of African masks into the curriculum in order to promote cultural diversity in the classroom. Now I am going to discuss what I learned about my topic.  ]]> 2019-02-17 19:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332151993 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332153371 Cultural responsive teaching acknowledges that racial and cultural differences exist in learning (Rule, Montgomery, Kirkland-Holmes, Watson, & Ayesiga, 2015). In addition, cultural responsive teaching also attempts to challenge racial stereotypes (Rule et al., 2015). ]]> 2019-02-17 19:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332153371 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332157971 It is important to discuss  elements of a specific culture when doing a cultural diverse art lesson. The article discussed the Yoruba people of Nigeria in detail. Although Yoruba families are patrilineal, women are seen to be very powerful. The Gelede masquerade is done to honor and appease women  Women are seen to have great supernatural power and if they are not appeased, destruction could befall a Yoruba village (Rule et al., 2015).  ]]> 2019-02-17 20:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332157971 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332159810 These two ideas are connected because understanding a different culture is part of cultural responsive teaching. A person is less likely to stereotype a person from a particular race or culture if they have previous knowledge of that race or culture. ]]> 2019-02-17 20:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332159810 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332160866 Content competencies involve an individual being knowledgeable about a different culture and their own culture (Rule et al., 2015). A person may have knowledge about a culture's religion, history, or language. The knowledge might contain stereotypes (Rule et al., 2015). ]]> 2019-02-17 20:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332160866 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332165414 The connection between these two is that an individual's content competency may consist of religious beliefs. ]]> 2019-02-17 20:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332165414 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332166052 Art educators are slacking when it comes to teaching art projects that promote cultural diversity. Rule, Montgomery, Kirkland-Holmes, Watson, & Ayesiga (2015) mentioned a study that included 400 educators and "one of the most frequently shared responses regarding barriers to using the arts was the educator's need to develop self-efficacy in this area" (p. 142 ).

The materials that were used for the project included: recycled paper, cardboard, balloons, acrylic paint, and glue (Rule et al., 2015). The project began with the participants learning about the masks of six different African cultures, which includ: the Yoruba, Bembe, Massai, Bamana, Chokwe, and Luba (Rule et al., 2015). ]]> 2019-02-17 21:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332170763 pgeracew2121 https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332171806 The connection between these two ideas is that if teachers included more culturally diverse art projects it could lead to African mask making. ]]> 2019-02-17 21:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pgeracew2121/whpeu7e65f2/wish/332171806
