To honor the rich legacy of Black artists and uplift students' artistic talents, Reconstruction is pleased to present the 'Black & Brilliant Art Design Contest'.
Students, time to put your creativity to the test! Three students (one high, middle, and elementary) with the most unique and creative Reconstruction design will be rewarded a $500 Visa Gift Card. Design submissions will be accepted through April 15th.
*To be eligible to enter the Contest, entries must either be submitted by persons age 14 and older or have obtained prior permission from an authorized adult. Contest is void where prohibited by law.
For Students:
We are looking for a design which celebrates Black History all year by using the Black Power Fist.
- What does Black History mean to you?
- What changes do you want to see in your community or school?
Draw a fist that represents that. If you would rather create your design digitally on the computer, you can do that as well. Use the below resources for further explanation.
For Teachers & Caregivers:
To help encourage students to participate, we’ve created 30-minute lesson plans for teachers and caregivers to use to introduce students to Black artists they may have never heard of and then equip them to design and submit their own logo.
For further questions, email curriculum@reconstruction.us and to submit a design, please complete this Google Form.
About Reconstruction
Reconstruction is a comprehensive online platform that provides unapologetically Black education for learners of all ages. When a student takes a Reconstruction class, they will have a one-of-a-kind, world-class curriculum centered around Black Glory, Black Love, Black Genius, Black Kindness, and Black Excellence. Traditional education struggles to discuss Black contributions in an accurate, identity-affirming way. We tell the real story. Reconstruction empowers everyone to shine.
