 The Art of the Collage
History
       Romare Bearden was born on
        September 2, 1911, in North
        Carolina, into a middle-class,
        African-American family.
       When he was three, his family
        moved to Harlem, New York
        City's center of black culture.
        Bearden called New York his
        home, but for most of his
        youth continued to visit
        relatives in North Carolina and
        Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
       Beardenís memories of past
        events and favorite places all
        became inspiration for his
        artwork.
His Influences
 He was influenced
  by the art of the
  Cubists, such as
  Pablo Picasso,
  Georges Braque,
  and Juan Gris and
  by the work of his
  friends and fellow
  jazz lovers, Stuart
  Davis and Jacob
  Lawrence.
His Contributions
          Bearden enjoyed
           working in many
           media, including oil
           painting, collage,
           watercolor, public
           murals, cover art for
           writers and
           publishers, poetry,
           music, and even
           children's books. His
           works are in major
           collections and
           museums around
           the world.
What You Will Need

   11x17 Paper for your Composition
   Magazine Cut Outs
   Colored Paper
   Scissors
   Glue
   Colored Pencils
Develop Your Plan
 Before beginning your composition, picture your
  house, and neighborhood. What do the buildings
  look like? What colors are they? Does the
  neighborhood have streets? Sidewalks? What do
  your neighbors look like? Do they have pets? Do
  other animals live there?
 Pick a time of day, morning or evening.
Before you begin!
 On top of your paper,
  block out the page with
  colored paper building
  shapes, the size of
  your hand or slightly
  larger. Keep layering
  cut-out paper to make
  windows, streets,
  shades, streetlights,
  bridges and building
  details.
Next…
   Glue all the paper
    down. You can also
    use paint or
    markers to create
    blocks of color or
    details like bricks,
    stones, flowers and
    details on trees.
Details
 Add cut outs from
  magazines of
  animals, birds, cars,
  and people. Glue
  them on top of what
  you have laid out
  with the colored
  paper.
