About this School Project (305 Hurricane Collage)
In this project, students worked on three layers. Layer one was an expressive layer, and students listened to music as the painted what they felt. They could paint whatever they wanted with abstract lines, shapes and colors. Layer 2 was a collage layer, and students made connections with what the Asheville community is doing right now as they recover from the big storm. Building, rebuilding, putting things together and rearranging things were all part of the process. The final layer was a self-portrait to represent their outer self. We talked about how we have layers to our personalities and identities just like art can have layers. We looked at the work of Robert Rauschenberg titled "Scanning" and discussed how his collage technique seemed to tell a story. I hope this project helped the students process all that is going on in their lives as we all work to get back to a more normal school year. I love how the layers came together and how each one is different.
