ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART

Welcome to Style Imitating Art. Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}, Terri {Meadow Tree Style}, and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art inspired outfits. Participants submit their art inspired outfits with the curator by 10 PM Tuesday and, that Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.

I chose this week’s inspiration piece.

INSPIRATION ART WORK

Jazz Stories: Mama Can Sing, Papa Can Blow #1: Somebody Stole My Broken Heart by Faith Ringgold.

 Many years ago, I used to teach American history and one of my favorite creative eras to discuss was the Harlem Renaissance. Most of my students had never heard of it, so each time I taught it, we all discovered new things.

If a class had a soundtrack, Jazz would be it for that time. The music encompassed so much emotion: love, heartbreak, longing, acceptance…

As with Jazz, the outfit options are limitless. You can focus on color, texture, material type, or even costume… I can’t wait to see your selection.
