Romare Bearden - Let's Walk the Block

When looking into this website I learned how many different aspects are included in this style of art. First, culture plays an important role. The art is abstract and doesn't show what the street is to look like literally. Also with the size of the art he was able to include many things. He was able to include lots of different mediums and include lots of different images. I like this style of art as I have always liked making collages. It was interesting to read how he was inspired as well. From just going to his friends apartment and looking at the street below he decided to create this work. It is also fun that the website includes activities that you can do to try this style of art yourself or with your students. I will definitely take note of some of these activities and try them.
