Faith Ringgold's Tar Beach illustrations influenced the third grade students. They studied Ms. Ringgold's art and then read the book Tar Beach. Using glue and fabric they created their own quilt squares and used a quote from the book reading "in the third grade I can fly, that means I am free to go wherever I want for the rest of my life" to inspire a painting of where they would like to go. A photograph of them flying over that place finished off the piece.
