Here are more personal photos of when CFAC instructor Julia had King Elementary 4th & 5th-grade students look at Romare Bearden's collage paintings, then discussed how to make a landscape of their home.
They talked about historical figures and heroes, and what those heroes would be wearing and doing if they lived in their neighborhood. This is mainly a collage project but students were allowed to expand into other materials once they covered the whole page.
