Charles White

Charles White was born on April 2, 1918 and was living in Chicago,illinois. When Charles White was a kid he liked to do art on anything that he found like shirts, cardboard and window blinds. When he was fourteen he got to paint signs. White was an art teacher at St. Elizabeth Catholic High School and Southside Community Art Center to show everyone there how to do art that he liked to do. White’s work was put at Boston’s Museum of fine art and at Whitney Museum of American Art. There is a school that is named after Charles White and there is a park that was renamed to being Charles White Park. The art museum has a gallery part with Charles Whites work in there so everyone can see what Charles White did for art during his life. Charles White makes paintings with charcoal for most of his artwork that he does and I think that he would have done a great job with doing art with the charcoal. White was making a daily workers newspaper so they could see political cartoons on the newspaper. Charles white was also making a portfolio with most of his charcoal art that he wanted to make and Charles White named the portfolio
