Romare Bearden: Artist of a Kind - By Ma-Nogoy F.

http://cra7thgrade.blogspot.com/2014/02/romare-bearden-poem.html

Romare Bearden is an African- American artist. He fell in love with collages when he was 14 years old. Ever since that day, he has made many collages using paint, glue, and scraps. He is African-American but since he was so light he was treated like a white person. He disliked segregation and hoped for it to end. Here is my poem on Romare Bearden. 

  

Romare

Determined, Kind, Creative,

Husband of Charlotte Bearden,

Who loved collaging, painting, and creating art,

Who hated discrimination, segregation, and loved to express his feelings through art,

Who feared that racism would continue and that he would not become famous,

Who made some of the best artwork in history,

Famous for his collages symbolizing the life of African Americans,

Who used colors that meshed together,

Let his imagination run wild,

Who wanted to see people express their feelings through art, the end segregation, and better treatment of blacks,

Born in North California, Died in New York,

He will always be remembered,
Bearden

A Famous Quote is: "Black art has always existed. It just hasn't been looked for in the right places".
