Abstract | Students in York County, Pennsylvania, live near Amish communities, and recognize the influence of Amish culture within their own lives through food, decorative arts, furniture, and quilts. The understanding of the cultural ideas used in Amish quilts, however, is not often explored. Two regional art educators, Trisha Coggins and Sara Little, were challenged to develop art units that would go beyond the traditional approaches of teaching about the Amish, while addressing the Pennsylvania state standards for art education. Each teacher developed units to correspond with specific historical and cultural information about the Amish, and each were provided by Victoria Weaver with historical and visual information about Amish quilts. Sara Little's high school students concentrated on pattern, basic art skills, technique, math, and measuring skills. Trisha Coggin's middle school students emphasized the Amish quilt principle of unity through the elements of art. (ERIC). |
