BA 133 - Story Quilts

Institution:

Moore College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

This course will expose students to the use of fabric as the medium for personal expression in art. Students will explore the history of quilt-making as women's work and investigate the wide range of how fabrics have been used for personal expression from the more traditional quilt-making practices to the more personal and non-traditional methods of making quilts by artists such as Faith Ringgold. Each student will develop a concept for a story quilt that reflects one of her personal experiences. Finished pieces might incorporate collage materials, non-traditional materials, transferred images of photos or other objects. Painting and drawing on the fabrics may be utilized to create other aspects of texture, pattern and color. Alternative means of creating a work in fabric will be demonstrated such as: heat and bond techniques, fabric glueing and metal closures. Other means of holding cloth in place as well as basic hand stitchery will also be demonstrated.
