Remix: A Lesson in Collaboration

Inspired by the project Value: In terms of Iconography by Mz. Icar featuring Erin Patrice Ou2019Brien, presented at Photoville 2020. Students will create a collaborative photo collage around a theme that they decide collectively. They will each contribute a source image to the collage, and pass it along to several peers who will build on their image, responding to prompts that move the image towards abstraction.nnLearning objectives: define the terms u2018collaboration,u2019 u2018collective,u2019 u2018process,u2019 and u2018themeu2019 as they pertain to the creative process; collectively discuss and decide on a theme for their collaborative photo collage inspired by Mz. Icar; explain their connection to an image through emotion, meaning and creativity; and collaborate by responding and building on an image created by their peers.nnThe 2020 Photoville Festival Education Month is proudly presented in partnership with PhotoWings, with additional support by the Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation.nnAuthors: Mary Ann McQuillian, Mz.
