Historical Quilts!!

Art is one of the most creative ways to express thoughts, feelings, moods, etc. Art is another way to let your voice be heard. Many times we the people are afraid to speak up; therefore we have many ways for us to speak and be heard such us poetry paintings. The artistic way of speaking is one of a kind and unique, in a way that makes listeners and viewers understand your point. The making of quilts is traditions that run in the family, which is generated from great grandmother until now the present. Quilts are usually made for a special reason; it can be for a given birth of a child, the love or your life or just for the artistic side of it. My point is that quilts can be great ways to express how you feel towards the one’s love.
The quilt I am going be talking about is the one which Asake Denise Jones made her self to express the way she felt about the new president. The strong usage of bright colors demonstrated that Obama stood for he’s family. Each color stripe had a meaning about the certain person. The quilt was outstanding and the message it provided was even better. The quilts colorful stripes help me understand what the definition for family is. The way she demonstrated the images signify how great of a man he is. Also one of the image showed Obama with he’s two daughters, which I thought that he was a great father. Only a proud father would take he’s time to show their kids how much they love them. Asake Jones did a great job on describing the family side of the president.
The colors of the quilts were one the things that captured my eyes, for the simple fact each beautiful color stand out for something special. Like the purple color stood up for he’s wife and how they are happy to be together. You can also say through the color that the creator of the quilt has a special affect toward the president. Most of the color were bright and stood up wit the images, which tells me that it’s about something special.
In conclusion, the quilt I analyze was impressive, because it really had a meaning and I can relate to that. I really like the combinations of the colors. It showed me that the picture had happiness in it.
