Avantika Bawa: Constructing Darkness

Free

This piece, using cut paper and hand-printed color, depicts two small children — one, a boy, slightly older than the other, a girl — standing back to back, arms crossed, with grins on their faces. The girl is wearing a short sleeved dress; the boy, a patterned shirt.

Barbara Earl Thomas: The Geography of Innocence

Free

This sweeping painting elongates the limbs of its subjects' raised fists, so they appear mountainous, triangular, and dynamic. The bottom and middle of the frame is crowded with individuals of this form, creating the sensation that a group is on the verge of riot. In the top left, a man in black garb leans forward, stretching his body across the top of the piece, pointing his finger. Deep, dark colors, including shades of brown, black, red, green, and one sharp flash of blue, dominate this piece.

Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle

Free

a mixed media work, primarily using turf, first as a tri-panel backdrop for part of the piece, over which what seem to be shadows from tree branches are cast, and secondly as the shadow—in the form of a human's silhouette—of the central object, which seems to be a chair with very tall legs. Behind this, black and white geese walk in a line.
