This is one of my favorite projects. The children learn about the life of collage artist Romare Bearden and his work, The Block. Next, the students will create their own city block by cutting and pasting different papers together. They get to decide what type of buildings will go on their block and even design original cars for their roads. To end the project, the students name their city and write up an advertisement to convince others to visit. The students also share their work with their classmates by lining up their city blocks side by side and walk around the room to view their work combined as a larger city.

Metropolitan Museum of Art
that allows the kids to learn more about this work of art and the artist.
