In this Black History Month art session, the children looked at the life and work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, arguably the most influential Black artist of all time. He is well known for his charity work to support anti-apartheid.
Basquiat told stories of his experiences through his paintings and continues to inspire people today. Children can access his art because it feels familiar, as his drawing style is very childlike, and his work has a sense of freedom.
