Abstract

The decision to participate in visual arts studies in college and visual arts professions in adult life is the product of multiple factors, including the influences of family, community, peer group, mass culture, and K-12 schooling. Recognizing African American underrepresentation in visual arts studies and professions, this article explores how African American youth conceptualize art as a pursuit, and “artist” as a possible identity. Aspects of the identity development process that are particularly salient to minority youth are found to play a significant role in African Americans’ commitment to pursue a path to visual arts studies.

  • Adolescents' exploration of artist identities may be hindered when peers reinforce the norm among themselves that visual arts is for 'nerds' or 'sissy's'.

    “In addition to the other studies, though, Charland ' s (2010) interview and focus group study indicates that adolescents ' exploration of, in this case, artist identities, may be hindered when peers reinforce the norm among themselves that visual arts is for B nerds ^ or B sissy ' s ^ (Charland 2010, p. 122).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
