VISUAL ARTS PD
Fellow art teachers from the NYC visual arts PD group in November may access my printmaking and collage unit materials by clicking on the following links.
Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students learned about the life and works of American Collage artist Romare Bearden. They worked from photos of buildings in my neighborhood to draw a typical NYC building. They then transferred their drawing to a 9x6" foam plate. They worked in teams of two to create two prints from their plate on black construction paper using ink colors of their choice. After all prints were complete, students worked in collaborative groups to create a collage. They used their prints, painted newspaper, magazine and newspaper photos, construction paper and glossy/metallic papers.
I hope you find this helpful as you plan your own lessons to connecting to history using Bearden, Faith Ringgold, and Ezra Jack Keats.
