Make colorful collages from your own impressions taken with crayon and paper around New Haven.

​

In the morning the students and the instructor will meet at CAW and discuss the history, significance, and precedent for taking rubbings from gravestones and other surfaces.

​

Then students will pair up for fieldwork of hunting for images in and around New Haven. Students will focus on textures, patterns, and unique characteristics of different surfaces. 

​

After a lunch break, the students and instructor will reconvene at CAW and make intuitive collages including experimentation with different arrangements and layers.

​

The day will end with a brief review of the day.
