Personally I was intrigued by the Thangkas. I really liked the way they were like a homecoming to her. I also like that she worked so closely with her mother on both of them. I like Faith Ringgold in general because I like the combination of art, storytelling, and quilting all in one. I also really like the way that her aft relates so personally to her life and the things that she went through growing up as an African American woman.
This makes me think about a lesson plan that involves making a collaborative "quilt" between all of my classes. I think that each of my classes could collaboratively make a quilt square and then we could combine all the squares together and use the quilt to make money to fund a larger art project or use it to get new equipment for the art classroom.
