Harlem Renaissance Webquest

Background and introduction The Harlem Renaissance was an African-American artistic movement that occurred in the years between WWI and The Great Depression. This social movement was spurred by a large-scale migration of African-Americans from rural areas in the South to cities in the North. Your task is to carefully examine a series of websites pertaining to the Harlem Renaissance and explore the characteristics, qualities, and people that impacted the Harlem Renaissance.

Directions Webquest will teach you how to acquire information about the Harlem Renaissance from informative websites and apply this new knowledge in the creation of documentaries that demonstrate your learning on the subject. There are four different categories: Dance, Music, Literature, and Art of the Harlem Renaissance. You will be answering questions from each category. You will be given links to start your search for the answers-you do not have to limit yourself to these websites.

Directions continued You may do this Webquest in any order. You will need to know what you are answering – Either copy the question or label the topic being written about. You may type your responses or write them. We will be going over them on Monday Have Fun!!

Art of the Harlem Renaissance http://www.iniva.org/harlem/negro.html During the time period, the social movement we now call the Harlem Renaissance was called the "New Negro Movement" why do you think this name was recognized as appropriate? - Consider the changes in America between the end of the Civil War and the start of WW II, why is it that many African-Americans were actively trying to define what it meant to be both "African" and "American"?

Art Continued http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGcZGBEXPY0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZh9VUllVs The art of the Harlem Renaissance seems overwhelmingly optimistic, despite the fact that Harlem was already in a state of economic decline and many African-American performers were not embraced by mainstream America. As you watch the two videos think about why that might be.

Art-Jacob Lawrence http://www.columbia.edu/itc/history/odonnell/w1010/edit/migration/migration.html This website includes images of all 60 panel paintings that Jacob Lawrence did to document the Great Migration. Why do you think Lawrence chose this subject for his big project? - What themes and trends do you notice that reoccur throughout the paintings? - Choose one panel painting, describe how the painting relates to specific things that you know about American History.
