Grab & Go Craft Kit: Black History Month with Alma Thomas Abstract Art
February is Black History Month!. We celebrate all the artists, astronauts, writers, inventors, educators, politicians, our neighbors...and all African Americans who are part of our American history. It’s a fun and creative way to engage with history and celebrate the contributions of African American leaders, artists, and changemakers.
Today we are creating a piece inspired by the colorful, abstract art of African American artist, Alma Thomas.
Suggested materials:
- markers, crayons
- paint, corks, q-tips, pencils to make dots...
- Pieces of colorful paper-recycle your scraps of construction paper, magazines...
