Students engage in a modern-day art project inspired by traditional quilt-making. Instead of using fabric and thread, they will use pixels and professional photo-editing software to design and stitch together an intricate digital quilt. The students’ individual animated art pieces represent quilt patches that are combined into one digital masterpiece, which can center around a common theme.
The digital quilt workshop can be used as a platform to enhance the classroom curriculum. For example, the project can illustrate the math concept of symmetry, showcase the stages of science discovery, or even tell a story.
