As part of a unit on the Harlem Renaissance, EOSA Juniors created artwork as a response to Romare Bearden’s “The Block” (1972).
"The Block II" by Romare Bearden (1972)
After looking critically at Bearden’s portrait of Harlem, students were tasked with creating their own collages which emulated Bearden’s style, and captured the feel of a chosen (Oakland) block.
