Peer review – Social Justice Art

Paragraph one is neutral and concise and contains an adequate amount of references. In paragraph one (grammar-wise), eliminate the word “can” and change the word “encompass” to “encompasses” and put a comma before and after the word “consequently. In this paragraph, provide specific examples of types of visual and performing arts that have been used in social justice art and well as specific examples of common social justice themes found in social justice art work.

In the background section, provide more history of social justice art –when it took off, when (what decade) it became most prevalent or at its peak, and how it has changed over time. Also, you are missing the word "to" after "it gives voice.."

Under “Social Justice Education”,It may be helpful to add a sentence about how social justice education is important as a tool leading to social justice art. We suggest including Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire as a major influence of social justice education. Also, you may be able to hyperlink"social justice education" so viewers can get more information about what that is.

Under “Culturally Relevant Arts Education” we suggest including Theatre of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal, who uses theatre as a means to create social and political change and who was influenced by Paulo Freire. Also, we recommend taking out the name of the article by Mary Hanley and just linking it to your reference page instead. Instead of including the title, we recommend providing one sentence on the background of the education model stemming from the work with an African American high school arts/theater group.

Under “Social Justice Art in Higher Education” we suggest including the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor, where PCAP (the Prison Creative Arts Project) is housed. PCAP is an organization that does theatre and creative writing workshops in prisons, juvenile detention centers, and high schools. The theatre and writing workshops done are inspired by Theatre of the Oppressed and Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Under “Community Building” there is a grammatical error in the third sentence: “These inner oppressive dynamics have been termed “social ghosts” has been referenced in dance literature, and function as a key theme within many community building art projects.” Change the “has” after “social ghosts.” You could also add Heidelberg Project (Detroit) here.

You met your requirement of at least 6 references. We recommend including more of a variety or mix of references enhancing the quality of your wiki article.

Adding a picture of a piece of social justice art work to your wiki article would also enhance it greatly. For example, “Detroit Industry” by Diego Rivera or a piece similar in the sense that it promotes social justice would improve the quality of your article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syassine (talk • contribs)
