Collage Art in Miss Britta's Class

Keeping with our theme of African-American history and culture, this week the students learned about collage art made by African-American artists.  They saw and discussed artwork by Howardena Pindell, Amalia Amaki, and James Denmark.   The kids talked about possible themes and meanings of the images and contemplated feelings the art evoked. The students were then encouraged to create their own collage images that reflected them.
