American Gothic by Grant Wood
American Quilts
The FAME art lesson was all about Grant Wood and his iconic painting American Gothic. Students were asked to think of other art works that are stereotypically American. The quilting bee was discussed, and the students were asked to create a group project. The 4th graders and 5th graders used the pinwheel design, the 6th graders used the kings crown, the 7th graders followed an eight pointed star pattern, and the 8th graders made a string quilt.
