Sun God Art Quilt
Led by Helene Knott
Since ancient times, stories have been told to explain the world around us. Joseph Campbell explored these in his book The Power of the Myth. Mythology has crossed the ages and all culture; Mankind has a driving need to understand nature and life and has developed stories that get passed down from one generation to another to explain natural phenomena; animals become spirits, volcanoes become Gods, and rainbows become mystic bridges. Some get relegated to superstition, and some evolve into the fairy and folk tales from our childhood. Encouraged by my parents and grandparents, I have had a fascination with myths, folk tales, and legends since I was young, and some of that interest has crossed over into my art quilts.
This project is my interpretation of a sun myth, in the class you will create your own Sun God (or Goddess if you prefer) and embellish it with dimensional stitchery and artifacts as you please. You will start with a basic design pattern I provide and then add your own personal touches and ideas to make it unique. This is a fun and rewarding process for those of you who like to explore texture and embellishment.
