How do you know

this project is
appropriate for
the grade level?

This is an appropriate project for this grade level because we can

discuss how a quilt is a representation of the classroom. It helps
children with their cutting skills and other fine motor skills like
knowing how to position the paper and draw. Students will also
learn about symmetry.

Final Visual
Outcome
Description:
We should be
able to picture
this in our minds!

A white piece of construction paper acts as the tile it should be in

the shape of a square that is 6 inches by 6 inches. Four identical
pieces of paper should be cut in the design choice of the student in
any color they choose and glued to the paper in a symmetrical
fashion. The student should then take an oil pastel and draw on
top of their colored piece of paper to create a design.

Explain how this

is a rich art
project / overall,
what are the
students
learning?

This is a rich art project because it teaches the students about the
history of quilts and their place in the classroom. They also
learned about symmetry. Moreover there is a lot of artistic
freedom in this project for the students to express their creativity.

Is this project
Teacher Directed,
Teacher Guided,
or Child
Centered?

This project would be teacher guided. The students must create a

tile that will be added to our quilt, but they have a lot of room to
design the tile as they want. They can cut the colored piece into
any shape and draw anything they would like to on the tile tehy
create.

Explain how you

know.
Why did you
choose this
project?

I chose this project because I liked how it looked when it was all
done. Each child can create something that is uniquely theirs but
somehow they all come together and add something to the quilt.

That is similar to a classroom. Every student had some strengths

and weaknesses. Like every tile, is different every student is
different and they all learn differently. Just like the quilt when
the class comes together we are beautiful and stronger together. A
quilts purpose is for is visual appearance but also to keep people
warm. In the classroom students will find a warm environment
where they can ask questions and learn the way they learn best.
