Color Lines.
Gude, Olivia
Teaching Tolerance, n19 p38-43 Spr 2001
Teaching about color and value scales emphasizes a systematic approach to the effects of color and may reinforce assumptions rooted in racism. Describes how an 8th grade art class challenged the symbolism of black as evil and white as good. By showing that this is a culturally constructed meaning, art teachers model that such meaning can also be culturally deconstructed. (SM)
