Crafternoon: Romare Bearden Music Inspired Collage

As we celebrate Black History Month, we will learn about different African American artists and their different art styles. Romare Howard Bearden is best known for his collages, which he created largely from painted paper, magazine clippings, and bits of fabric. ​Bearden was also a songwriter and book illustrator.​ Therefore, music is a very common theme in his work, in addition to the theme of ritual and family. During this after school craft, we will be making collages inspired jazz music, we will have samples for inspiration!
