Students this week focused on adjectives and Romare Bearden who was fond of all things descriptive. Bearden was born in 1911 in North Carolina. He is most famous for his collage work and his love of African art, jazz and the blues.
Bearden said, “I think an artist has to be something like a whale, swimming with his mouth wide open, absorbing everything until he has what he really needs. When he finds that, he can start to make limitations. And then he really begins to grow.” This week we went around the neighborhood consuming as much inspiration as we could in photographs.
