Students began work on a two-day project drawing inspiration from Faith Ringgold’s captivating Street Story quilt.
Students were asked to recreate the façades of their own buildings as viewed from the street.Â
Each student was provided with different colored pieces of fabric, along with glue and scissors, and encouraged them to unleash their creativity to the fullest extent!
They were particularly captivated by Ringgold’s inspiring use of fabric in her artwork and enjoyed experimenting with cutting and patching different types of fabric.
Some students encountered difficulty in depicting the façade of their buildings and found greater ease in capturing the interior instead.Â
