Students from four elementary schools in FWCS had the privilege to explore quilting with expert quilter, Sandi Brothers, without leaving their buildings. The presentation by Sandi Brothers was funded by FAME, the Foundation of Art and Music in Elementary Education. The four FWCS schools, Lindley, Brentwood, St. Joseph Central, and Study Elementaries were connected via video conferencing equipment and bridge provided by ACELINK. My fourth grade students engaged in an exciting experience that integrated historical facts, music, technology, visual arts, and practical application skills. As you can see from the photographs, it was a rare treat to host a contemporary artist at our school. We spent the next few art classes completing our quilt squares. The students gained a plithera of knowledge and had a great time doing it. Check out the photos on flickr !
