Project Description: Quilt
For this project we examined different textiles especially New Mexican colchas, story cloths and Chilean arpilleras. We talked about the visual representation and techniques used in each textile. The students illustrated their own story, family history or a personal experience. Their teacher says, “They used many techniques to represent their story such as hand stitching, embroidery and learned how to use a sewing machine. Students sewed all the elements of the quilt, even students in 7th/8th grade classes took part in putting this collaborative quilt together.”
