  17. Racial Disparities in Incarceration • African Americans now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerated population • African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites • Together, African American and Hispanics comprised 58% of all prisoners in 2008, even though African Americans and Hispanics make up approximately one quarter of the US population • According to Unlocking America, if African American and Hispanics were incarcerated at the same rates of whites, today's prison and jail populations would decline by approximately 50% • One in six black men had been incarcerated as of 2001. If current trends continue, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime • 1 in 100 African American women are in prison • Nationwide, African-Americans represent 26% of juvenile arrests, 44% of youth who are detained, 46% of the youth who are judicially waived to criminal court, and 58% of the youth admitted to state prisons (Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice).

  20. The Artistic Process (Part 1) • Choose an image that represents your chosen social issue. • Determine the positive and negative space. • Cut out the shapes. • As a result, your photograph will be abstracted. You will use those shapes to create a collage.

  21. So far…

  22. Everything you need to know about acrylic paint • Acrylic paint dries fast and that has always been it's primary advantage. • Acrylics stick to a wide variety of surfaces. • Acrylic paints are odorless. • Acrylics may be thinned with water just like watercolors.

  23. Basic Techniques with Acrylic • Use masking tape directly on the surface you are painting to create "hard edge." Remove this only after the paint has dried and don't use too much paint or the tape will be difficult to remove. • Use a medium so that when you paint with less medium, your colors will still have the intensity you desire. • Underpainting • Layering

  24. The Artistic ProcessPart 2 • How will paint your collage? • What abstract techniques will you use? • What will you do 1st, 2nd, 3rd ?

  25. Techniques • Use masking tape to create a hard edge. • Underpainting to block out major shapes. • Freehand the shapes to further abstract. • Acrylic • Use gloss medium • Dry Brush • Washing • Detailing
