Faith Ringgold Story Quilts

Studio in Art 8






- Lauren Delsignore- Christy Ann Silecchia-Ferrone - with special thanks to Jade Jacobs -

Our Story Quilts

8th Graders were inspired by the work of artist Faith Ringgold, who combined the mediums of painting and quilting. Students used elements of narrative and magical realism to create their own personally meaningful story quilt compositions in mixed media. "Quilted" paper collage borders and choice text were used to complete the style of the story quilt.

Please enjoy the artwork and voiceover descriptions of our fabulous Studio In Art 8 students!
