The quote "YOU BECAME A WHISPER A SYMBOL OF A MIGHTY VOYAGE & BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW YOU LABOURED FOR SELF FAMILY & OTHERS" was particularly compelling to me because it emphasizes the strength it took to survive the ordeals black people went through.

"Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried" examines some of the common roles/stereotypes black people were subject to under white oppressors. #arth287

The "Meet the Artist" video was the first one that really put the size of her paintings into perspective, they are literally larger than life.

The soul kitchen video provided an excellent insight into the creative processes that went into Mickalene Thomas' works.

Mickalene Thomas used a variety of media including "badazzling" works to create a unique, larger then life experience that empowers black femininity.

I was interested when she was describing the elements of a traditional Igbo wedding ceremony, and I liked the explanation of how it tied into her works.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby explores how immigration can be represented within different mediums. #arth287

"Creating Art That’s Familiar in an Unfamiliar Way" details how Kehinde Wiley combined historical aspects of portraiture with vibrant colors and patterns to create something uniquely beautiful. #arth287

The "Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic” video detailed Wileys process of creating portraits to reveal more details about the person in the portait. #arth287

I chose the sculpture posted by Hank Willis Thomas because I thought it was beautifully made and was intrigued by the lack of eyes. I chose the work by Devan Shimoyama because I thought the colors were beautiful and it had an interesting depiction. #arth287artoninsta

The birth of the cool video detailed Barkley's painting of everyday individuals, many of whom were looked down upon by society.

The works featuring Aunt Jemima were surprising to me because I never realized it was a racial caricature before.

"From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried" lays out the many ways black people were oppressed over American history, and contextualizes it with the artist's physical reaction.

The kitchen table series provided a unique view into femininity, gender roles, and the importance of gathering spaces. #arth287

I was surprised by the comparison between pantyhose and nerve endings, I had never seen it used in art before and it was surprising. #arht287

Faith Ringgold's "American People Series #20: Die." was very shocking in both its graphic depicitons of violence, as well as its relevance over 60 years later. #arht287

@linden_arth287 I thought the green one was interesting as they are dressed similar to a traditional shamen, but with parts of the attire replaced with modern material goods.

I chose these two pieces by Dr. Fahamu Pecou. They each remind me of summer time because of the bright happy colors that they posses. The green painting makes it seem like a lot greenery is outside, and the yellow painting makes it seem like it is a sunny day. #arth287artoninsta

This painting by Maya Freelon reminds me of a picture of an optic nerve. The angle of the painting could suggest seeing things from another persons point of view. #arth287artoninsta

@Arth287N That's and interesting interpretation, what did the lines in the painting make you think of?
