PK Art Exhibit: Studies Lois Mailou Jones

For the past two weeks Ms. Aimee and Ms. Alondra's PK class has been learning about Lois Mailou Jones. She was a master artist and a Howard professor whose career blossomed during the Harlem Renaissance. They re-created African masks inspired by Jones’ own African mask. The studies culminated with their own art exhibit.
