Spuyten Duyvil Branch Library (Bronx)
Quatro-Fold and Accordion-Fold
Taking a single sheet of paper and folding it into a four page mini-book the participants illustrated their book with the intention of sharing a memorable life event. We examined the collages of French artist Henri Matisse as inspiration while using bold graphic shapes to tell a story. And considered the Illustrations of Norman Rockwell for his Americana narrative.
Countee Cullen Branch Library (Manhattan)
This project seeks to draw out each person’s life stories by asking them to list facts and or aspects of themselves, thus becoming a self-portrait and a graphic representation of their life. Reflection Question: Who are you? List those moments in your life that stands out from the rest. i.e. the birth of a child, having to relocate, new job, etc.
