Romare Bearden Jazz Musicians

Each year when our 5th graders start learning about the Roaring 20s I do a lesson on Georgia O'Keeffe but this year I decided to try a lesson that has been in my "Want to Try" folder for a while. We focused on artist Romare Bearden and my students spent a few weeks working on a collage of jazz musicians. It was a great way to start a unit that all of the related arts teachers could participate in because we all love the 20s! The collages turned out AMAZING and everyone was so proud to see their work displayed. Enjoy!
