Project Description

This self-paced learning experience is designed around the desired understanding that artists Wiley and Sherald use portraiture to include African Americans in a historically white American art narrative; the Obama portraits are a step towards inclusion, but also a reminder of the diverse American population that remains underrepresented in museums and in politics.

I curated text and media resources to support the desired understanding, wrote framing text to guide audience exploration, and built the lessons in Articulate Rise. To plan the learning experience, I used backwards design and Grant Wiggin's UbD framework.
