I can create a neighborhood collage that will illustrate the unique aspects of my neighborhood and create a sense of place. Students will understand the background of Romare Bearden and his artwork. Students will brief paragraph describing their neighborhood and how they incorporated a sense of place in their work.
The program gives students the opportunity to express their points of view, in their creations, analyze the artistic elements and principals that contributed to the mood of artistic work, demonstrate the process of creating a mixed-media collage that expresses the unique aspects in their neighborhood that creates a sense of place, illustrating a current social concern and conveying a mood.The students will be evaluated informally while they are working on their neighborhood composition. The formal assessment will be students writing about their own ideas about how to portray the unique aspects of their neighborhood environment that create a Sense of Place and how they portray current events. Students will be informally evaluated during the class discussion about their neighborhood project.

All lessons will be adjusted based on grade level.
