Faith Ringgold is an American painter, sculptor, and writer. Born in 1930, she was best known for her vibrant and politically charged works of art that explore themes of race, gender, and cultural identity. Ringgold's works are characterized by their bright colors, bold patterns, and innovative techniques, such as the use of fabric in her paintings. She was known for her powerful and imaginative depictions of African American life and her role as a pioneering figure in the American Civil Rights movement.
Over time, Ringgold became a leading figure in the American Modernist movement, and her works continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and beauty. Today, Ringgold's works can be found in major museums around the world, and she remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of our time.
Ringgold created a beautiful combination of quilting and painting in striking works of art. Her African-American heritage inspires visual story telling in her colorful masterpieces. Student artists use cut-paper quilt designs combined with oil pastel pictures of a favorite memory to imitate her style. Be sure to click through the student masterpieces at the top of this page.
While I was in elementary school, Meet the Masters visited many times and I was in awe by the whole experience. To this day I still think about the lessons I learned and still have my rendition of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I would love to inspire young students the same way Meet the Masters instructors have inspired me and so many of us.
