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!!
