Political Quilts 

The artistic expression of quilting is traditional. Women have been quilting for generations. Women often quilted in groups and the quilting circle became a place for communication. Women came together and discussed social and political issues. They began expressing their political and social views in their quilts. Even with strict censorship, women were able to get the message out through quilts.

Activity:

-provide students with a variety of material, felt, beads, needles, etc.

-provide each student with one background  square of fabric

-students can either each work on an individual piece or work to each create one block of a theme quilt

-allow lots of time, these pieces require lots of time

-connect the squares to create one large quilt

Clay Sculptures by chidren:

Design elements and principles are the basic visual toolbox of design tactics in every visual design discipline. The elements form the basic vocabulary of visual design, while the principles constitute the broader structural aspects of the composition. They consist of line, texture, shape, space, and form.Most compositions are created by using combinations of elements and principles.Class Activity 

1) Hand out definitions for all the elements and principles.
2) Have groups look through magazines and tear out pictures that represent each element/principle.
3) Students organize and sort the pictures to find the best example(s).

4) Each member from the group takes an element and creates some sort of representation using the magazine cut-outs.
5) Place all representations at the centre of the table.
6) Gallery walk – groups rotate and take a look at the work of other students.
