Awareness is the ultimate goal of a truth-seeking individual. Some reach that stage early on in life; however, some of us never quite get there. Yet, can full awareness ever be reached? Is it an illusion or a mirage of the human mind? This is something I cannot answer. It is up to an individual to decide what awareness or truth is and means to them and when they've reached that point (Ladson-Billings and Tate 1995) if they ever do. Nevertheless, awareness or truth is not definite or a set destination, but rather a dynamic, evolving and open-ended process that occurs throughout life. It is a process of decolonization of the mind, heart and soul (Henrichs 2020) that allows us to reframe our perspectives (Tuhiwai Smith, 1999) and leads us to discovery, understanding, and transformation (Freire 1970).

The era of high stakes testing often puts pressure on teachers and administrators to deemphasize creative activities, especially those involving the social studies, art, and music. Teaching strategies not perceived as directly related to improving test scores are often marginalized. Environmental text is essential for encouraging overall learning competencies in general and social studies in particular. Using environmental text such as real estate booklets can be helpful in generating learning activities in the social studies. Real estate booklets are colorful, rich in content, and readily available at no expense. Methods for integrating music and art strategies are presented also.

Interest in Chinese art has swelled in the United States in recent years. In 2015, the collection of the late dealer-collector Robert Hatfield Ellsworth fetched no less than $134 million at auction (much of it from Mainland Chinese buyers), while the Metropolitan Museum of Art drew over 800,000 visitors to its galleries for the blockbuster show "China: Through the Looking Glass"—the fifth most-visited exhibition in the museum's 130-year history. The roots of this interest in Chinese art reach back to the first two decades of the 20th Century and are grounded in the geopolitical questions of those years. Drawing from records of major collectors and museums in New York and Washington, D.C., this article argues that the United States became a major international center for collecting and studying Chinese art through cosmopolitan collaboration with European partners and, paradoxically, out of a nationalist sentiment justifying hegemony over a foreign culture derived from an ideology of American exceptionalism in the Pacific. This article frames the development of Chinese art as a contested process of knowledge production between the United States, Europe, and China that places the history of collecting in productive conversation with the history of Sino-American relations and imperialism.

"A timely and revealing look at the intertwined histories of science, art, and racism. 'Race Is Everything' explores the spurious but influential ideas of so-called racial science in the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, and how art was affected by it. David Bindman looks at race in general, but with particular concentration on attitudes toward and representations of people of African and Jewish descent. He argues that behind all racial ideas of the period lies the belief that outward appearance--and especially skull shape, as studied in the pseudoscience of phrenology--can be correlated with inner character and intelligence, and that these could be used to create a seemingly scientific hierarchy of races. The book considers many aspects of these beliefs, including the skull as a racial marker; ancient Egypt as a precedent for Southern slavery; Darwin, race, and aesthetics; the purported "Mediterranean race"; the visual aspects of eugenics; and the racial politics of Emil Nolde."--ProQuest Ebook Central website.

Didong is one of the cultural arts originating from the Gayo tribe of Bener Meriah, Takengon and Gayo Lues Regencies in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Furthermore, it is an art that combines movement, vocals and artistic literature to educate the public about government programs, such as health-care sector in the context of health promotion. The Bener Meriah regency experienced an earthquake in 2013, which result in the death of 14 people and 100 were injured. Therefore, this study aims to determine the didong art as a medium for health promotion, and the sample used were purposive sampling, which include the recitation group of 69 people. Also, a pre-experimental design with one shot case study was used. Furthermore, data was collection techniques include questionnaires, observation and interviews, and it was analyzed using percentage descriptive method to describe all varriables The community watched the didong art performance via video for 20 minutes, and subsequently an assessment was performed on the community. Based on the results, 85% of community groups stated that the didong art was used as a tool in health promotion in relation to the effect of natural disasters on public health. The art's unique local wisdom makes it easier for the community to understand the contents of didong art poetry, which contains messages regarding the impact of natural disaster in public health. In addition, the poetry was translated into Indonesia for easy understanding by people other than the Gayo tribe. Therefore, in order to determine the level of effectiveness in the use of didong art as promotion medium for public awareness about the effect of natural disaster, this research needs to be continued.
