My second grade artists have been looking at the story quilts created by Faith Ringgold. They especially enjoyed seeing her “Sunflowers Quilting Bee at Arles” and finding another artist we’ve recently studied, Vincent Van Gogh!
We created “mini quilts” by weaving paper strips, decorating our “quilts” with patterns, and writing about ourselves and our work in the style of Faith Ringgold. I learned that my second graders are AWESOME weavers!
