Over the past few years, I've written a couple of posts about art lessons inspired by Beauford's work:
Museums Use Beauford's Art to Reach Out to Children
Today I found another example of this.
Art Sphere Inc. has a section on its Web site called Art Basics, through which it encourages youth to build art skills and express creativity through a series of brief online lessons and downloadable handouts. They have created a handout that presents Beauford's relationship with James Baldwin, talks about Beauford's painterly style, and encourages readers to use their imaginations to color images of Beauford and Baldwin. The black and white tracings are inspired by Errol Sawyer's photo portrait of Beauford and Beauford's 1945 portrait of Baldwin.
