Faith Ringgold Inspired Story Quilts
First Grade students read the book Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold. We discussed the idea of being able to fly over anything in the world that we want; much like the character in Tar Beach.
We then looked at other story quilts by artist and teacher, Faith Ringgold. Students learned how the artist uses paint and fabric to create visual imagery.
Students used creativity to draw a place they would most want to fly over. They used color pencil to fill in their picture. They used scrap paper to create a quilt effect around their picture.
Beautiful Work!
