The Fall 2021 edition of InsideART focuses on the USFCAM exhibition Constant Storm: Art from Puerto Rico and the Diaspora. Constant Storm brings together Puerto Rican artists from diverse generations, living on the island and in the diaspora. Through the multimedia curriculum, teachers and students are invited to examine how art can explore culture, history, and critical social issues. Lessons are aligned with curricular and instructional standards of state and national learned bodies in social studies and art education. 

InsideART lessons are written by USF College of Education faculty Dr. Bárbara C. Cruz, Professor of Social Science Education and Dr. Cheryl Ellerbrock, Associate Professor of Middle Grades and General Secondary Education; Miranda Ferguson, M.A.; Shannon Peck-Bartle, M.A.; and Cristina M. Viera, Ph.D. The program is co-directed by Dr. Cruz and Noel Smith, Former Deputy Director, USFCAM and Leslie Elsasser, Curator of Education, USFCAM.
