Romare Bearden Inspired Artwork

Third Grade students looked at artwork by Romare Bearden. They discovered that he created collages from cut up photos, paintings and other papers. He included people and places that were important to him. They found that he loved music and grew up during the Harlem Renaissance, so instruments are often featured in his artwork. Third graders picked an instrument of their choice, and drew just a portion of it, emphasizing a part of the instrument that they found interesting. They colored their instrument with oil pastels and created a piano border with marker.
