Racial Bias in Paint and Art Materials
Brandoff, Rachel
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v39 n1 p50-53 2022
Art materials created by and used within cultures with implicit racial bias can exemplify and perpetuate that bias. An art material named for skin color perpetuates the normalization and prioritization of one skin color. This viewpoint details how one White art therapist educator dealt with a sand-colored paint labeled "flesh," which inspired a classroom discussion of social justice, oppression, and advocacy.
