JS6 Guild Fabric Collages

In the second trimester sixth graders begin a long project to deeply study a topic related to the Medieval Era. This study crosses their art and humanities classes, and sees them join a “guild” where they perform the bulk of their topic design, research, project design and presentation preparation. They are able to invest deeply in their subject area and spend a considerable amount of time on it. In art class as the guild work begins to near its end the students design a fabric collage, and through the use of symbols, design and imagery they visually depict something about their guild and guild project. These fabric collages get hung on banners together with the other members of their guild, and displayed during the Medieval Festival presentations. The collages presented below are individual pieces by students who chose to present their collage separately as a piece for the art show.
