Today's Goals:
Today's Goals:
I can collaborate with peers to generate an archive of research and insight into the collage process.
I can reflect on collecting as an artistic process.
I can critically examine why I collect what I collect, what humans collect, and consider why that behavior is somewhat innate to human kind.
“Each day, Yuji Agematsu would take the cellophane sleeve from a pack of cigarettes, slip it in this pocket, and use it to hold scraps of street trash that had a texture or shape that captured his eye. Each cellophane wrapper represents a single day and what he collected on his daily walks in New York City. These stunning miniature compositions are basically very little documents and time capsules.”

Elegant Problem:
What do you collect? Why do you collect it? In your field journal, free-write what you discovered about yourself this week. Was it already obvious to you that you had a collection, or did you discover that you had one?

Post your place collages to THIS Padlet and leave comments on at least three different peoples' collages. Can you guess the locations that inspired their collages??
Beginning to think about Collections
Beginning to think about Collections
I think I am always collecting in a way-- walking down a street with my eyes open, looking through a magazine, viewing a movie, visiting a museum or grocery store. Some of the things I collect are tangible and mount into piles of many layers, and when the time comes to use saved images, I dig like an archaeologist through my lists and all the piles that have accumulated and sometimes I find what I want and sometimes I don't. -Sister Corita Kent

What do people collect? Think of and write down as many examples as you can in your field journal.
Looking at that list, consider reasons that people collect these sorts of items. What themes emerge?
What do collections communicate? How are they related to culture?
The Center for Advance Research on Language Acquisition goes a step further, defining culture as shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs and understanding that are learned by socialization.

Interact with your collection!
Prepare to present your collection(s) to us. How can they best be shared with us?
Arrange and rearrange your collections. Repurpose your collections (invite them to interact with one another!) Look at them differently! Document what you are doing and document your thoughts about what you are doing. If you prepare a "virtual tour" of your collection, please add that documentation to our archive (LINK).
