The 6th and 7th grade students each created their own quilt piece and then some of the students helped assemble the quilt. This project took a good bit of time. I created a guide for them to follow which is was to split the quarter circle into three sections and have one about a quote or word you like. The other sections were about designs and repeating shapes. This project was inspired by an article in the Scholastic Arts Magazine about quilts and a Blog post I found on Pinterest http://willywonkyquilts.blogspot.com/2012/10/cinco-de-mayo.html I also wanted to do a collaborative artwork with the students where their personalities could show through the final artwork. I feel like collaborative artwork like this lets the students feel happier about participating. The students and I arranged the quarter circles and glued them down. The black paper helps to emphasize the designs.
