After creating a drawing of a mythical creature using at least three characteristics of living creatures, let's create a fabric story of this creature. Using felt squares and fabric scraps collage a picture of your creature to tell a fabric story.
Inspiration We look to two examples of how stories can be told through fabric. The Unicorn Tapestries (1495-1505), Metropolitan Museum of art. In tapestry threads are woven to make the structure and picture. Faith Ringgold 1930- Ringgold is an American painter, writer, mixed media sculptor and performance artist, best known for her narrative quilts. Her artistic practice is extremely varied – from painting to quilts, from sculptures and performance art to children's books. As an educator, she taught in both the New York City Public school system and at college level. In 1973, she quit teaching public school to devote herself to creating art full-time. In her work of the story quilts we see that fabric is sewn together to make the structure.
