Practice for Humanities

http://www.faithringgold.com/ringgold/d06.htm  
This is a link to one of my favorite African American female artist's work.  Although it would violate copyright to post the image here (plus it just doesn't work), isn't it OK to refer my readers to this link?  This artist produces elaborate & detailed quilts depicting various aspects of life, and I just love the vibrancy of her work.  I'm hoping some of our students will find a connection with her in our upcoming humanities project.

Susan I am excited to use this artist in our research project. You are such a spectacular media specialist. Thank you for everything you've done for me and my students.

I think it would be o.k. to upload it with a description of why and an attribution. Or the link is fine, too. It sounds like your project will be a good example of "fair use" if you are using her quilts and music as examples of the kind of thing students can create ...
