This website is the work of art
educators from the University of Houston working in collaboration
with Dr. Sarah Trotty and Dr. Alvia Wardlaw from Texas Southern
University. It has been developed after an intensive period
of time looking at Dr. Biggers' local murals and thinking about
what others might want know about his work and legacy.
We have developed this site with
a wide audience in mind: students, teachers, artists, and the
interested public. Our hope is to share Dr. Biggers' work
and ideas with as many people as possible so that they too may
be significantly moved by an understanding of this man's work.
On each section of this website,
we invite your dialogue
(discussion
forums) about the materials and the ideas they communicate.
We firmly believe that educational materials should not
be viewed as seamless authoritative information Rather,
we desire dialogue about the ideas to further all of our understanding
of Dr. Biggers' work, and thus our hope is that this website
will be in constant evolution because of our discussions and
shared thoughts. We believe this dialogue is the purpose of
education.
