The artist Romare Bearden used magazine pictures to create a collage.the artist was inspired
by the musicians and wanted to show they were playing music.In the work titled three folk
musician the artist depicts in the night.3 musicians were playing music two of them were playing
guitars and one was playing a drum.The moon was in the sky and it was very small.The
elements that the artist focused on in the artwork were color,value,lines and shapes.He
arranged these elements to emphasize:I see many kinds of shapes in the
