Adult Studio Art Workshop (via Zoom)

In honor of Black History Month, this session examines Jacob Lawrence’s screenprint The 1920’s…The Migrants Cast Their Ballots (1974). Draw details from his unique, modernist depiction of African-American migrant workers in the 1920s voting for the first time. Lawrence created this print as part of the Kent Bicentennial Portfolio, with artists contributing to the portfolio responding to the question “what does independence mean to you?”.
