Links for students provided. This month we reviewed artists from the Harlem Renaissance, like Lois Maillou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Aaron Douglas, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, Augusta Savage, Archibald Motley and William H. Johnson.
For students who will continue their Harlem Renaissance studies I've included a list of all the posts from this month and a link to more blog posts about this art topic.
Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence's first formal study of art came at Howard University, where she studied with the painter Lois Maillou Jones and with printmaker James Lesesne Wells. During the Harlem Renaissance, Knight became a daily participant in the workshop of sculptor Augusta Savage, director of the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and later of the Harlem Community Arts Center. Throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, Knight became an itinerant artist of sorts, accompanying her husband, Jacob Lawerence, as he pursued new opportunities.
