Third grade artists at PES have been working on class paper quilts. We examined the artist Faith Ringgold and discussed the importance/meaning of quilts in our society.
These paper quilts were designed to align with 3rd grade social studies and feature the South Carolina state symbols! Each student chose two SC state symbols to draw and paint on an paper quilt square.
None of the classes are quite finished with the assembly of the quilts, but they're hard at work on it. They are punching holes in the sides of the paintings to tie them together to form a classroom quilt! Don't tell any of the 3rd grade teachers- it's a surprise for them!
I promise to post the finished products in the next few days. :)
Get information on SC state symbols at SCIWAY.
