P.S. ARTS To Go! Jacob Lawrence Masks with Mr. Oscar

About the activity:

Jacob Lawrence was an American painter and educator known for the way his images told a profound story, especially those about AfricanAmerican lives. He used a style of working which some describe as Dynamic Cubism, which incorporated big blocks of bold colors and strong shapes to form a picture. Let’s create our own mask inspired by this style!

Materials needed:

  • Piece of paper or paper bag
  • Pencil or pen
  • Something to color with (crayons, colored pencils, paint, or markers)
