@Makayla9032 I agree. The emotion is intense yet twofold. The bright colors and smooth paint is calming yet the subject is obviously stressed about something.

I chose this piece by Beverly McIver because I liked the colors and the way you can tell that a light is glaring onto the woman. I also liked how the portrait seems to convey a strong sense of emotion, as the woman seems distressed. #arth287artoninsta

@AhmedElHalabi9 This art is multilayered. It is a dark way of reflecting on multiple issues in black culture and history.

This piece recreated by Nina Chanel Abney displays the late artist known as 2PAC on a cross. This piece symbolizes mourning with the inclusion of two people grieving, skulls on the ground, and ascending doves. 1/2 #ARTH287ArtonInsta instagram.com/p/CZIG5UAlmc6/…

This painting represents the struggle to find identity within America as a black man. The color is bright yet the message seems darker. The man is centered and staring straight at the viewer. #ARTH287ArtonInsta instagram.com/p/CAzFfhdFUcy/

This painting below is amazing. The yellow especially streaked in the eyes is juxtaposed with the dark figure on his t-shirt. To me, this feels like the figure he's wearing is providing the next-generation power and purpose. #ARTH287ArtonInsta instagram.com/p/CKUAltqFi5-/

@matsARTH287 I love this. The colors are the colors of the Pan-African movement flag. A movement focused on centralizing black strength and returning back home. Powerful image.

I chose this piece, “Zora # 2” by Rico Gatson because Zora Neale Hurston is one of my favorite authors. I also like the art because it feel powerful and the lines shoot out towards all of the possibilities of life. #arth287artoninsta

@SobotaTatum I love this. Work like this is what keeps the spirit of the struggle alive. To utilize strength in numbers and voices.

This still by Dread Scott was taken at the reenactment of the Slave Rebellion. The piece emphasizes the idea that racism is still extremely prevalent in American society. The faces and body language of the individuals compel a sad and angering history. #ARTH287ArtonInsta

The lion on the chest, posters in the background and the flag wrapped around him. This photo shows a man with a heavy heart marching against what feels like an impossible issue. instagram.com/p/CZAHagWrLde/ #arth287artoninsta

From a collection showcasing street preachers. The b&w tint intensifies the message paired with the Bible facing the camera. A unique and powerful twist on what one expects from a "street preacher". instagram.com/p/B7mKI3hpxCz/ #arth287artoninsta

@IyanaJonesRees2 I agree. More art like this hopefully can push the culture towards more inclusive toys for children.

I chose this pic from Sheila Pree Bright bc it is used to show how a doll could look if it ignored traditional Western beauty standards. It made me excited to see someone who had my hair on a doll (I had this style when I was younger) #arth287artoninsta instagram.com/p/B7XGkNOpp_Q/

@curlyheadj433 @kehindewileyart I completely agree! This reminds me of President Obama's portrait. Black strength that is consumed by the colors.

I chose this photo by @kehindewileyart because I like the use of bright red and green patterns for the background. He puts a character in the middle of that pattern as it almost appears as if he is being consumed by it.#arth287artoninsta

The strength of black America is shown through the passion of the people and these photos represent this. From the strength in numbers on the left to the strength in a voice like Congressman John Lewis. instagram.com/p/CRc4BVmr9ga/

I chose this photo for many reasons. This is the cover art for the movie "Queen and Slim". The dark contrast, the direct stare into the camera, and having them sit on their getaway car are all great additions. instagram.com/p/CR44ymUM19v/ #ARTH287ArtonInsta

@AP_Trevor When do scores get released?!

AP US Govt & Pol FRQ1 (on elections, gerrymandering) best differentiated among students across the range of AP scores: students earning a 3 were generally able to score 3 out of 5 points on it, and students earning a 5 were generally able to score 4-5 out of 5 points on it.

Can honestly say I will never have another class like my APGov kids. For me the class felt like a family, one that respected and supported each other regardless of different views. If these group of kids represent the future, we are in good hands. #26 #birthday #xbox #family

politics to fit his new, power hungry agenda. Bob hasn't had one view remain steady during this campaign and will flip when it serves his purposes. Bob has proven himself to be untrustworthy and we advise @LongThereal to watch his back, for it may get stabbed.

To be clear, we welcomed @bobfisher4prez into our campaign with open arms and were immediately met with aggression and hostility. After opposing his attempts to grab power and deciding to merge with @EvansPres , Bob began to slander us and, once again, completely change his... twitter.com/realCutler/sta…

The campaigns of Charlotte Evans and @ap_drago have merged into one campaign. Remember to vote for Charlotte Evans as your president, and Dick Richardson as your VP this election season.

@bobfisher4prez Now you care about spelling 😏

Actually shook! thanks for giving us a second chance 😘😘😘
