This week's assignment: Faith Ringgold Flag Collage

Faith Ringgold, an African-American artist, is best known for her large story quilts. In 1985 she made a piece titled “Flag Story Quilt” which inspired this collage.

1. Using old magazines, cut out small pieces of red, and also black and white lettering (type) to fill in the stripes and blue swatches to fill in the rectangle portion of the flag. Attached the pieces with glue stick or white glue.
2. Cover the blue rectangle with some glue stick and arrange some hole punch circles or some other small white pieces of paper, for stars, as shown.


Below is my example:


Here is the artist's work that this assignment was inspired by:
