My Project

Our project is for our art class to learn about African American history in the arts

We will create art in the style of and inspired by African American visual artists in American history.

We will create our own art to inspire others and to learn about ourselves and to learn how to build upon our individual and unique talents. We will be creating painting and collages for display in our school showcase for Black History month and for our spring celebration. Our project is very exciting to us! Thank you for your consideration.
