1 Paintings Inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. What was the Harlem Renaissance? The periods of the 1920s and ’30 known as the Harlem Renaissance encompassed an extraordinary outburst of creativity by African American visual artist, writers, and musician. Racial prejudice and segregation, however, not only kept them out of the museums and galleries where they could show and sell their art, but threatened the very core of their personal artistic expression.

Next you will sketch out a minimum of four drawings/ideas for a painting that are inspired by Harlem Renaissance artist. It will help if you focus your ideas either to the narrative, expressive or movement painting.

The artist statement should be a minimum of a paragraph.

18 I know what the Harlem Renaissance is. I know and understand how artists were influenced during the Harlem Renaissance. I can describe the style of artwork created during the Harlem Renaissance. I can research different artists from the Harlem Renaissance and select one that I find inspiring and print 3 pieces of their artwork. I can develop 4 different drawings based on my chosen artists’ work. I can create 1 final composition based off of my 4 original sketches. I know how to mix colors according to my color palette. I know how to apply tempera paint that represents my chosen artists’ narrative, expressive or movement paintings style. I know how to use and respect materials in art. I can reflect on my inspired artist and personal artwork by writing an artist statement.

19 Writing your Artist Statement: What artist influenced your composition? What type of artwork did your artist produce during the Harlem Renaissance? What is your artwork? Describe the style of artwork your artist created and explain how you incorporated your artists style, subject matter, etc. into your original composition. Does your painting evoke emotion, express a specific idea, or tell a story?
