Class experience
During this 4 session craft camp, I will lead students in creating mixed media, pop-art paintings of notable Black historical figures. Each weekly session will focus on one person who has made significant contributions to American society in celebration of Black History Month.

I present my historical information on my experience as an African-American, my masters degree in social work where I am trained to handle and manage difficult situations and information. I have also taken undergraduate courses in African-American history. I have 10 years of professional experience working with primarily African-American populations in foster care which also equips me to handle delicate matters with professionalism and tact.
1 file available upon enrollmentPhotos of each historical figure will be provided one week prior to class. Quotes of each history figure will be provided one week prior to class. Supply list provided.
We will be covering historical figures throughout American history, in order to be accurate and give students a fuller understanding of the contributions made by these individuals, I will have to lightly address discrimination. I will do so in a very gentle and conscientious manner. My goal is to honor the memories of these individuals therefore, most of the focus will remain in the honoring. Additionally, parents should monitor the use of scissors. Acrylic paint (make sure the label says non-toxic) can stain so play clothing and covered surfaces are best. Parents may opt to use tempura paint for their little ones.
I will use the following children's books for the facts that I will share in class as well as biography.com and wikipedia.com. George Washington Carver by Tonya Bolden, Malcom X, A Fire Burning Brightly by Walter Dean Myers A Child's Introduction to African-American History She Was the First! The Trailblazing Life of Shirley Chisholm by Katheryn Russell-Brown Zora Hursto and the Chinaberry Tree by Williams Miller Zora! The Life of Zora Neale Hurston by Dennis Brindell Frradin Malcom Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X Shirley Chisholm is a Verb! biography.com wikipedia.com
