Harlem Renaissance: Formative Prompt 21-22

We have spent a good deal of time analyzing both art and poetry from the Harlem Renaissance. Now, choose one poem and one piece of art and discuss not only your interpretation of each one, but also how the two pieces function together to create an overall impression, message, or idea.

In a single paragraph, you should talk about the relationship between these two pieces, and how they function to create a unified message. Be sure to discuss the visual elements, language choices, point of view, symbolic elements, etc to build your analysis.

You may use any piece of art or poem from the slideshow and/or handout that was provided in class.
