In honor of Black History Month, second graders are studying the African American collage artist, Romare Bearden. Bearden lived in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance and was greatly influenced by Jazz Music for his artwork.
In art class, we listened to music from the Harlem Renaissance while using paper, scissors, and glue to make our own collages. Didn't second grade do a brilliant job with their own music-inspired artwork!?
