The Art of the Harlem Renaissance

Today you are going to be exploring the art of the Harlem Renaissance. Some of the themes of the art of this time include contrasts of darkness and light, urban life, pain and progress, etc... In your search, you will be searching for artists work including painting, drawings, and sculpture. Look for any number of artists, but you must do some background research on Aaron Douglas, Palmer Hayden, and Lois Mailou Jones. You must have notes about the authors, and you must use a piece of art from one of these artist for the analysis chart on the back of your packet.
