This painting is called "souvenir", painted in 1997 by Kerry James Marshall - acrylic on stretched canvas.
I think there are many design elements that are used in this painting and some more than once. The one that I am choosing for this is Repetition. At at the top of the painting there are all these figures black figures. All of these people are dead. They are given wings and the stretch across the canvas. Although it is not an exact patter that is being repeated it is the concept of the art and the reality their lives that has been repeated. Historic people of color.
This painting is called "Our Town", painted in 1995 by Kerry James Marshall. Acrylic and collage on canvas.
I think this painting has a very apparent design element and that is focal point. The two children in the front. Both surrounded by other colors and so far into the foreground to pull all the attention to them. I think that they are the focal point even thought the name of the painting is "Our Town".
