Cleveland Museum of Art Tour

Friday we visited the Cleveland Museum of Art.  At the museum we were lucky enough to see an original work of art by Romare Bearden.  We have been studying Bearden throughout the year including looking at his collage artwork during our Arts for Learning program.  The students paired and shared their ideas about this artwork and also studied it's composition using our art vocabulary.  Here is the beautiful artwork, Wrapping it up at the Lafayette, 1974.

Our Collage Artwork

We've been putting together collages as part of our Arts for Learning curriculum.  In May we will host an Art Show Gallery.  Here is a sneak peak at some of the work we've been creating!

Who was Romare Bearden?

Romare Bearden was an artist who used collage to represent his southern childhood and urban jazzy lifestyle.  He is one of our inspirations for our current collage projects!

He often depicted rural workers, jazz musicians, or people in urban settings just hanging out.  He also often included trains in his artwork.  

Who was Roberto Clemente?

Born Roberto Clemente Walker on August 18, 1934, Clemente played with the Brooklyn Dodgers' minor league team before making his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955. He led the National League in batting four times during the 1960s, and played in the 1971 World Series. He died in a plane crash to deliver goods to Nicaragua in 1972.
