Abstract
This thesis project seeks to honor and uplift Black art educators in Virginia while fostering a critical dialogue about the challenges they face in a predominantly white field—art education. It also explores the significance of love in the classroom, examining both its role in education and what these educators cherish most about their profession. Ultimately, this project serves as a source of inspiration and representation for Black and Brown students who aspire to pursue careers in the arts and need to see more individuals who reflect their identities and experiences.
