Quilt Block Collage
(art + history)

Quilts, or the process of quilting (sewing together layers of fabric and batting), date back to Ancient Egypt and China and continue to be a modern art form. They are used to tell stories, pass down family histories, celebrate weddings and births and as pieces of art to be hung on a wall and admired. What we think of as “quilts” today — small pieces of fabric sewn together to form blocks that collectively make a whole piece — did not become popular until the mid 19th century. Making quilt blocks was a means of “recycling” pieces of fabric from clothing that was no longer usable. In this lesson plan, students will have an opportunity to study quilts through history and make their own quilt block, using paper and glue rather than fabric and stitching. It’s a great way to recycle materials and illustrate a number of design principles — rhythm, pattern, balance and unity.

Hello, my name is "Anzoa" Madelene Kajusa and Welcome to The Regional Geography of South Sudan Grade 12. This course was part of my directed studies research at TRU (Thompson Rivers University) in Kamloops BC, Canada. Directed studies at TRU allow students to undertake a specific topic with a supervisor. My supervisor was Professor Dr. Tom Waldichuk. This course explores the emergence of South Sudan as a distinct space through the organizing concepts of regional geography, human geography, cultural geography, feminist geography, the sociological perspective, and cross-cultural interaction. I am very proud of the work that I have done here. It was nice being able to introduce the Ma'di people of South Sudan to academia. There is a lack of education being taught about South Sudan in the Canadian school system. There is a huge population of South Sudanese people in Canada. Having this course will let our voices be heard and be represented in a positive light. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Kajusamadelene@gmail.com
