“Aaron Douglas and the New Negro”
In this activity, students will synthesize Hughes’s belief about the role and responsibility of the Black artist and Alain Locke’s philosophy of the “New Negro” with the work of “New Negro” artist Aaron Douglas by creating their own work of art in Douglas’s style.
Channel the spirit of “New Negro” artist Aaron Douglas by applying your knowledge of both the philosophy of the “New Negro” (as articulated by Langston Hughes and Alain Locke) and Douglas’s artistic style and themes.
