The theme for Black History Month in 2024 is African Americans in the Arts! This class will give us an opportunity to celebrate people in the African Diaspora who are artists. We will make a virtual living museum out of pictures that your children create before the class. Prior to class, students will make either a self portrait or a portrait of a black person in the arts using a style inspired by a black artist. Then when they attend class, a few students will be invited to share about the person pictured and/or the person whose style they were inspired by. Families are encouraged to spend some out of class time, before the class to create their masterpieces. I have created a pinterest board with some artists and styles that the learner can use if needed. You will find that in the Sources section. Class Outline: Introductions Brief discussion about why the arts are important Share time for art projects Closing drum circle Students are also welcome to work on their projects during class. However they may not have time to share due to time constraints.
Learning Goals
Students will share and learn about people who have changed and made the world better in the African Diaspora through the arts.
