Quilting the God/dess
images.jpeg


“Tell me what your God look like, Celie.”

Aw, naw, I say. I’m too shame. Nobody ever ast me this before, so I’m sort of took by surprise. Besides, when I think about it, it don’t seem quite right. But it all I got.


For today’s exercise you will create your own quilt squares. In them you will address how your assigned character from the Color Purple would view God.

Your quilt square can include whatever you like, but no words other than what I will explain below. You may use whatever art supplies we have on hand or bring your own.

Characters:

CELIE SHUG SOFIA HARPO ALBERT NETTIE SQUEAK

Somewhere on your quilt square include a quote from the novel that supports your artistic view. Be ready to present your quilt square to the class.
