Mini Art Lesson: Revolutionary Sister by Dindga McCannon

In the 1960s and ’70s, artist Dindga McCannon didn’t see many Black women warriors, so she created her own in Revolutionary Sister. This mixed-media artwork is made from lots of different materials—including a Statue of Liberty–inspired headpiece made from recycled flagpoles and pieces from the hardware store. Follow along with step-by-step instructions as kids ages 2–6 create artworks made out of household items and paint, and kids ages 7 and up use found items to create images that make them feel powerful.
