Daniel Minter is a painter, sculptor, illustrator, and art educator in Portland, Maine. As an African American, his art is dedicated to documenting and raising awareness of the African American experience. Like artists of the Harlem Renaissance, Minter’s work focuses on issues ranging from the African Dispora to the history of everyday Black culture, expressed through contemporary art.
Art teachers use the engaging nature and visual language of the arts to foster compassion and empathy. Students combine photography with digital storytelling to narrate their experiences living in America, create mixed-media artworks to represent a cause or issue they are passionate about, design headdresses inspired by local bird species, and more.
