Culturally Responsive Teaching in Art Education K-12

In this video about culturally relevant pedagogy in the art classroom, Professor Katherine Huala is seen teaching art to a 4th-grade class at East Elmhurst Community School.

Zaretta Hammond’s research on culturally relevant pedagogy (Hammond, 2015) and Project Zero’s Eight Studio Habits of Mind (Hetland et al., 2013) offer a framework for this instructional video in art education. This framework supports the preparation and ongoing professional development of K-12 teachers in art and design.

* Katherine Huala, Associate Professor in the Art and Design Education Department, Pratt Institute, and former New York City public schools visual art educator.
Funding for this video was provided by Pratt’s School of Art Faculty Research and Innovation Award (2022-23).
