Black Artists Research Posters Bundle

Engage your students with this bundle of 10 posters of famous Black artists! At a glance your students will learn key facts, history, artist timeline and main artworks from Black artists active 1880s-20th century. I generally use these as stand alone posters for the classroom and sometimes as a tool for research activities. They also make great lesson starters and work in the virtual classroom too.

This is a downloadable ZIP file and each poster is sized 29.7 x 21cm (A4 Landscape). You can either print it on a large poster printer, or it can be printed on regular sized copy paper on a smaller printer. Both transparent and white background are included, as well as a PDF version.

These posters are so versatile and easy to read, which is why they are perfect as classroom decor, organization, as part of a sub lesson, as a fun research activity and can be used each every year for Black History Month!

- Edmonia Lewis

- Faith Ringgold
