Abstract	Engaging with the quilts of Gee's Bend offers a rich opportunity for students in grades four through eight to develop appreciation for pattern, rhythm, and innovation while learning about history, entrepreneurship, and political activism. By easily accessing print, film, and Internet resources teachers can include these vibrant quilts and quiltmakers in the art classroom for study. This Instructional Resource draws inspiration from several of the Gee's Bend quilts and encourages close examination and thoughtful visual and verbal responses by students. Two interdisciplinary engagements building on students' experiences viewing the quilts and learning about the historical and contemporary context of Gee's Bend are presented in this article. (Contains 7 figures and 3 endnotes.) (ERIC).
