Art from the Heart-African American Artist Clementine Hunter
Art from the Heart-African American Artist Clementine Hunter
It all started when…Clementine decided to paint. Read about how she didn’t wait for fancy paints or expensive supplies. She didn’t wait until she had a special place or art studio to do her art in. She didn’t even have any lessons, but she painted anyway! She painted the life around her and what was important to her.
Learn about her wonderful life as a folk artist and the ways she contributed to African American art and culture in America.
I highly recommend using Art From Her Heart by Kathy Whitehead, as a read-aloud to your class as you begin your study of African American Folk art.
