Dropping in on Romare Bearden is the sixth in a series that introduces children to artists and learn about their lives and their artwork. In Dropping in on Romare Bearden, Puffer the puffin lands in New York to interview the famous artist. Romare Bearden uses a variety of media to make his unique images with family, urban life, and music themes. See what inspired Bearden to create collages such as Pittsburg Memories, Of the Blues: Showtime, The Conversation, Early Carolina Morning, Spring Way, and Three Folk Musicians. Puffer's open-ended questions prompt viewers and readers of all ages to make their own critical analyses and interpretations of the works of art.
