Celebrate Black History With Gee's Bend Quilts
This particular project started with the idea that I wanted students to know about the Gee’s Bend quilters from an art perspective and that quilts, by nature, involve a lot of math. It grew from there until we were integrating all subjects. The Gee’s Bend quilters gave me just the format I needed to celebrate black history and Alabama history, exercise writing and math skills, make a cool art display, and commemorate the 100th day of school all in one project.
