Having looked at the Romare Bearden website, I would like to start out by saying that I am not very technologically savey, and I had some difficulty navigating this website in particular. Anyway, I had never heard of Bearden before I saw this website. What I find so fascinating about his artwork is that it incorporates photographs with intricate and colorful pictures. I think it takes average everyday objects and people and turn it into unique assemblages.
Something that I think is great about the website is that it has interactive activities for children. For example, they have one of Bearden's work of art displayed, and it has an activity attached where they ask young children to pick out the shapes in the artwork. Another activity online is the "artwork timeline", where students and young children can view a timeline of when famous works of art were created. I think this is a great idea for a website because it introduces kids into art that otherwise might not have been that interested in it.
