AboutIn honor of Black History Month we chose an African American leader for a Mini Bio. We choose a historical figure: civil rights leader, artist, athlete or author and explain their significance in our society.Each day one of my peers would present on the history, life, and contributions of this African American Leader. Our presentation consisted of a slide presentation and an artistic portrait in any medium (drawing, painting, illustrator, etc) to use during presentation and then display in our 10th grade commons (with artist statement).
I chose to honor Florence Griffith Joyner, a US olympian. For my artistic portrait I made a photoshop piece which highlighted her childhood, life, and contribution to minorities. Below you can view my presentation to learn about her life. |
