Family Art – Ringgold
Directions: Explore the art and storytelling of renowned artist Faith Ringgold in this fun, hands-on family art class. Participants will learn about Ringgold’s life and her innovative story quilts, which combine painting, fabric, quilting, and written stories. After looking at Ringgold’s artwork and discussing how artists can tell stories through pictures and words, participants will create their own mini story quilt using fabric scraps, paper, recycled materials, paint, markers, and collage elements. Each family member can create a scene based on a favorite memory, a family story, a special place, or an imaginative dream. The class encourages creative expression, storytelling, family collaboration, and appreciation for fiber and mixed-media art while demonstrating how everyday materials can be transformed into meaningful artwork.
