This week we focused on literature and how even a children's book can have an impact. The older students completed a lesson related to Harper Lee's classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" where we made silhouette collage paintings based on the cover design inspired by activist/artist Kara Walker. Since the subject matter was a little heavy for the younger kids we learned instead about Faith Ringgold and her quilted "Tar Beach" picture book. We used paper scraps on black paper and patterned paper borders for our "quilt squares".
