This is a project I developed while studying to become an art teacher, and it quickly became one of my favorite projects to do because I get to know a little more about the students in the process! The students learned about the artist Faith Ringgold and her painted story quilts. After reading her book Tar Beach, the students came up with a memorable and true story about their lives and then drew a picture of that story without using words. The students then used wallpaper sample scraps to create a "quilted" border. I love hearing the students stories and seeing them transformed into an artwork!
