In celebration of Black History month, students in 2nd grade looked at the artwork above from Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series. In paintings and words, Lawrence told his community's story of African Americans who journeyed from the rural South to the urban North between the World Wars in search of a better life, a movement known as the Great Migration.
Students worked in teams to study the work of art seen above and were asked to respond to the work using found objects. Students collaboratively created a new work of art and explained how their new creation responds directly to the artwork of Jacob Lawrence. Here are some shots of their teamwork and final results!
