KENTUCKY BARN QUILTS AT SHACKLETTE! OCT. 15,16,17, 2024 SHACKLETTE ELEMENTARY JCPS
KENTUCKY BARN QUILTS AT SHACKLETTE ELEMENTARY was a project that included so many students and educators at the school. The students were able to draw a design and color it after learning about Kentucky Barn Quilts. They were also able to collaborate in small groups to choose colors and design the pre drawn large quilt squares. It was fun to see them working together and experiencing the medium of acrylic paint. On the third day some of the groups added pattern to their quilt design to replicate the idea of printed cloth and to correct paint mistakes. The speech teachers worked with students as they participated in this project and offered the speech therapy for all participating and qualified students. The finished pieces were hung throughout the school and all of the school community have enjoyed the barn quilts so much!!

"KENTUCKY BARN QUILTS AT CTE!" Arts for All art Inclusion project April 22,29, May 6,13, 2024
"KENTUCKY BARN QUILTS AT CTE!" Art Inclusion project at Cumberland Trace Elementary was quite a challenge! For four Mondays Kim Soule, Artist and Lisa Kelton, Art Educator worked so hard leading the students in learning about folk art and barn quilts. The artist shared quilts from her own family and talked about the folk artists who had created them. Kim Soule also shared a google slide presentation about barn quilts, colors and designs. The students began by designing their own barn quilts using colorful markers. The next Mondays were spent collaborating on painting large barn quitlts that were drawn by the artist on 2x2 foam board and 4x4 foam board. The students collaborated on color and then painted the designs. The last Monday was used to touch up designs and add printmaking to give the illusion of fabric like a real handmade fabric quilt.
"MIXED MEDIA MANIA!" Arts for All Inclusion project South Warren Middle School April 9-12, 2024
"MIXED MEDIA MANIA!" Arts for All Inclusion project at South Warren Middle School was a first time project for me! We chose this theme because Paul Johnson, Art Teacher and Kim Soule, Artist were both trying these mixed media techniques in our own art. The students were awesome at creating and even brought in some of the mixed media items that they added to their own art. We started with an 11x14 canvas board and painted a single acrylic layer of one to two colors. In our next class we added collage elements and in our final 2 classes we added the 3d elements with hot glue and finally had a show and reflection/critique of the process and finished products.
