Week 3 - Jacob Lawrence Cubism/Realistic

For week 3, I chose to do my project on Jacob Lawrence Cubism/Realistic. My task was to
research Jacob Lawrence’s art and how he impacted the cubism and realistic art world.
Because this type of art I would never usually choose to take appreciate, this project really
opened my eyes! Through researching, I learned that he only sticks to painting with certain
colors, and his art also told stories about what people were going through at that time
period. In a classroom, I could see myself introducing who he was and his style of art, then
focussing on a piece of art and explain the story behind it. To wrap the lesson up, I would
have my students try to create their own piece of art that has a deeper story wrapped into it.
This is a great way to get students invested in something they might not normally pay any
attention to.

Here's a link to a different kind of realism art projected integrated with a science lesson:

I think this is such a cool and unique way to get students in a creative zone in a different setting!

Here is the finished product of the activity in the blog!
