Romare Bearden: Black Odyssey Remixes Collage App

Description

Be inspired to create! Get a how to with this app demo. American artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988) believed that "all of us from the time we begin to think are on an odyssey." The "Romare Bearden: Black Odyssey Remixes" app, a companion to the national traveling exhibition "Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey" from the Smithsonian, was created with Bearden's quote in mind. This lively, colorful, and highly engaging iPad app, allows you to remix COLLAGES from Bearden's original series to create your own unique works of art, and express your personal journey. Choose from a variety of Bearden's backdrops and layer in shapes and forms from other collages. Or cut your own shapes, add personal photos, change the colors of various elements and resize them. You can also add written words and descriptions. Music played a big role in Bearden's life and his art, so the app also incorporates sound. While you build your collages, you can mash up audio such as ocean waves, jazz riffs, warriors fighting, or even your own voice. Save your visual collages and post them to a public gallery--where they can be tagged and revisited by other users--and share with friends on Facebook, Twitter, or email. You can also learn more about the traveling exhibition, Bearden's life, and the companion exhibition audio tour app.
