With NAIDOC Week approaching I wanted to share my posters celebrating Famous Indigenous Australians with you. I loved researching and drawing these 35 influential Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and I hope the posters will inspire Aussie kids to learn about them too.
Happy International Women's Day! If you want a fun Happy International Women's Day! If you want a fun way to celebrate these paper dolls of inspiring women from history are available on my website and TPT stores now.

African Americans and the Arts (Black History Month 2024)

The theme for this years Black History Month is “African Americans and the Arts”. The focus will be on celebrating the impact Black Americans have had on visual arts, music & cultural movements so I thought I’d highlight some of the resources I’ve made that fit the theme. They are all in my Teachers Pay Teachers store as that’s where most of my American customers shop but you’ll find some in the store here too (click the photos).

Famous black artists collaborative colouring posters

Colouring posters of famous black artists and their artwork
This one is perfect for this year’s theme. An easy, fun and engaging collaborative project for the class which creates eye-catching classroom display or bulletin board for Black History Month. There are 16 designs featuring famous black artists and their artwork. Illustrations are greyscale line art so you can colour, paint or decorate them as desired. Two sizes are included: 8.5” x 22” Tile of two letter pages and 17” x 44” Tile of eight letter pages (2×4). Also included is a colouring guide for each poster which features a photo of the artist, their featured artwork and a colour-by-numbers guide. It also provides context of the overall image if you divide the pages between students.

These popular colouring pages feature the artwork and famous quotes of the famous black artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Amy Sherald, Lois Mailou Jones, William H Johnson, Kehinde Wiley, Elizabeth Catlett, Harriet Powers, Jacob Lawrence, Edmonia Lewis, Romare Bearden, Alma Thomas and Faith Ringgold. A great resource for artist study or just something fun for early finishers this month. 

Black composers music classroom posters 

Posters of famous black composers (Black History Month)
Fun and colourful posters of famous black composers — a must have for music classrooms in Black History Month and beyond. 15 composers from different genres and eras: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Julia Perry, Margaret Bond, Julius Eastman, Wynton Marsalis, Harry Thacker Burleigh, Joseph Bologne (Chevalier De Saint-George), Zenobia Powell Perry, Francis Johnson, George Walker, Duke Ellington, Florence Price, William Grant Still, Louis Armstrong and Scott Joplin. 

Black songwriters music classroom posters 

Posters famous black songwriters (black history month)
There are so many great African American singer/songwriters that is was hard to know where to stop — hopefully I’ve drawn your favourite in these 37 fun, colourful classroom posters. Each one has a QR code so your students can hear one of their famous songs and spark their interest in music from all ears and genres. 

I’ve also made many other great Black History Month resources which you can find here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lotta/PreK-12-Subject-Area/Black-History-Month?ref=filter/subject
