6th Grade Harlem Renaissance Research Project-9/18/15

Dear parents and students,

Our sixth grade language arts class has recently read "Mother Fletcher's Gift" a short story set in Harlem. The students have learned about the many artists and influential figures that stemmed from the Harlem Renaissance. In an effort to explore more about these artists; the students will conduct a short research on an African American artist, of their choice, from the Harlem Renaissance. Here is the information the students should research on their artist:

Name:

Birthplace:

Family:

Education:

Awards/recognition:

What was this artist famous for?

How was this artist discovered?

Why did you chose this specific artist?

What is your favorite work by this artist? Why?

**Students should print out a picture of the artist and attach it to their research. This research should be placed in students' notebooks (Literature section)
