Needles and Scraps: Using Collaborative Autoethnography and Visual Storytelling to Rewrite the Dominant Narrative of Black Children in Public Schools

This study forms a meta-narrative exploring the educational experiences of Black and Brown elementary students in public schools. The
goal is to decenter and dismisses racism and mis-education frequently found in majoritarian stories using methods similar to Faith Ringgold's
art and artistic processes. Together students and teacher crafted a telling of Black and Brown elementary school students' stories. Storytelling
is both my research content and approach. The goal is to create a positive narrative about Black and Brown students' culture in public school
settings. Informed by Paulo Freire's (1993) Critical Pedagogy, Critical Theory and Critical Art a category I have defined as a composition of
visual elements that are composed to engage and/or provoke the viewer to examine, critique, or question her reality, we offer a critical
perspective on social issues, provokes thought, conversation, and action on a personal, communal, or global level to help in gaining freedom,
justice, or equality. Race, gender, poverty, identity and education are common and important considerations in this category. The resulting
written and visual meta-narrative presents a new perspective, giving way to a deepened understanding of the educational experiences of African
American children public K-8 school (Barone & Eisner, 2012). / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Art Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
