Art Smarts: Romare Bearden

For Black History Month we studied the NC born artist, Romare Bearden. We looked at some of his prints and learned about his collage style of art. We also learned about how he was inspired by jazz music and poetry because he lived in Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance.

We listened to two jazz pieces "Jungle Blues" and "Seabreeze" and drew what the music inspired us to draw. We also picked one of Bearden's pictures and wrote an original piece of poetry.

We also tried a super cool app on our new class iPad that let us create our own Romare Bearden collages!
