42. Memory, family stories, cultural history, and a world filled with color are the inspiration
for Marion Coleman’s quilts. Mr. Felix Lindsey was a buffalo soldier from Wichita Falls.
43. Marion learned to sew from her grandmother. Her journey as an art quilter began
ten years ago when she entered a quilting contest. She has won numerous
awards and art residencies. Her quilts have been featured in several publications
including O, Oprah Magazine, and SchoolArts.
44. Marion Coleman lived with her grandmother most of her childhood. She feels
lucky to have stayed there; her grandmother taught her to quilt. Her teachers
encouraged her to go to college. She was the first in her family to graduate
from a university. Here is a quilt of Pearl, her stepmother.
45. Her quilts are amazing. At first glance, they appear to be paintings.
Here is Faith Ringgold, famous artist and author of Tar Beach and other
children’s picture books.
46. Notice the texture in the background on this quilt of DeeDee Bridgewater,
actress and jazz singer.
47. It is hard to believe this is a quilt. It depicts Shelagh, a long time friend.
Can you see all the stitched lines and pieces of fabric?
50. Marion Coleman loves to use cultural themes in her quilts. Here is a quilt
honoring Ruby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all white elementary
school in the south.
51. This quilt features Bessie Coleman, first Black female to get her pilot’s license.
52. This quilt is titled Waiting for the Freedom Train. Can you see the eyes in the
background? What could those mean?

The Priddy Foundation supported the teachers’ participation in these two conferences.
This past year NTIEVA worked with WF art teachers and the WFMA to develop curriculum, train teachers, and present 2 workshops. Several of the artists were able to join us for the 2013 workshops, such as Ralph Stearns. We presented the two workshops back to back in June.
Our teacher leaders shared the notebooks they had created throughout the project.
We had four tables with four different hands-on activities. Each one of the teacher leaders was in charge of a table. This photo shows a photo transfer process. We also had mixed media collage, primary color printmaking, and relief printmaking.

Our first project, Pride in Place, was featured in the November 2013 SchoolArts Magazine.
An article about Marion Coleman was published in the October SchoolArts in conjunction with the artist’s exhibition at the Wichita Falls Museum of Art.
In the curriculum guide, each artist is featured in a PowerPoint meant to be shared with students. The links on this slide are for different video clips about the artist the teacher may want to show.
Nancy Walkup is also the editor of SchoolArts Magazine, published since 1901 for art teachers of students K-12.
