David Driskell


I will be highlighting African American artists that I love and reference in my classroom in a series of posts. My hope is...if you aren’t already...do your research this summer and bring a wealth of AMAZING artists to your students that will enrich their art education experience& allow them to see themselves in the art & artists!

David Driskell was an artist and art historian that focused on African American Art. He authored and co-authored a number of books on the topic. His work is alive with color and line, and it is filled with heart felt meaning and symbolism. David passed away in April of complications with Covid 19. His contribution to the world of art will not be forgotten.
