Canvas Squares

These canvas squares were painted by Meadow students, on one side. Then they were taken to a refugee camp in Chad, where children painted on the reverse side. Finally, patches were sewn together to form a tent.

Here is a patchwork tent, after patches were painted on both sides and sewn together.
