The art education graduate students had a welcome back dinner on Sept 24th, 2014. In a joyful celebration, they presented a quilt to Sandine Han designed and made for her new baby, Deniz Oxer, by the students in the EDCP520 class.
Joanne Ursino master-minded the design of the quilt and put in many hours in finishing it. Each student in the 520 class created at least one of the squares in the quilt. Each square presents either some letters of the alphabet or numbers. Michael Parsons taught the class while Sandrine is on maternity leave. The students spent a half an hour talking about and working on the quilt for the last four sessions , and many hours outside of class. The reverse side of the quilt has written on it, in both English and Mandarin Chinese, Sandrine’s expression of joy and pride on the morning after the birth.
