“Defining Beauty”
In this activity, students will create collages that explore their perceptions of “beauty” and present them to the class.
Beauty is often tied to identity in The Bluest Eye. Consider your definition of “beautiful” and the factors that have led you to this definition. What has influenced you to define beauty this way?
Teaching Suggestion: It may be useful to have various magazines and other print media available for students to use for their collages. For in-class discussion, it may be helpful to create a two-column chart on the board for students to find similarities and differences in the ideas presented.
