This class is getting lots of opportunity to combine art with other subjects. We reviewed a wide variety of prayer rugs last week using the computer projector--taking note of designs, colors, borders and learning about fringe. The students started a sketch to guide them on the project. Towels are a bit of a challenge to paint on but the price and size were right so we gratefully started on them. Each student has redrawn parts of their design in colored chalk then using fabric medium and acrylic paint they started the designs. It will take several weeks to complete the rug but it looks like it will be worth it. The students were impressed by the detail on some of the very old rugs we found pictures to share.
