Activating Abstraction: Collage Cut-Out Animation Project
About "Activating Abstraction": As I have been adding 2D animation to my storytelling skillset, I have imagined an animation project that would be great to do with student at a Museum/Gallery or School. This project was imagined as a way to activate artwork on display at a museum by bringing their elements alive through animation. While this project conceived using an exhibition from the Brooklyn Museum, it can be adapted for any artwork/artifact. This animation project/ lesson plan was developed in 2026.
Fantastical Hair: Exploring the work of Lorna Simpson
About "Fantastical Hair": Summer 2019 I had the privilege of partnering with Freedom Arts & Education (http://www.faecstl.org/ ) as a teaching artist. Below are images from a camp workshop where I introduced youth ages 5-8 to Lorna Simpson's collage work. We talks about hair and how it can make powerful & fun, statements about the wearer. I provided them with a 4x6" piece of watercolor paper with a face cut from a magazine on it. They were encouraged use their imaginations to create fantastical hair!
above: images are of students Lorna Simpson in spired "Fantastical Hair" portraits, 2019.
