The works of Juane Quick-to-see Smith are featured in a lesson that asks pupils to consider the role artists play in bringing about social and political change. Scholars examine protest art by Smith and several street artists and consider which of the freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights the artist is expressing. To conclude the lesson, class members create their street art and then use the provided rubric to evaluate the artwork of their peers.
