Working on a Collage
The girls had a good time with this project. They loved using the miniature “artworks” from the Joslyn as part of their collage projects. – Ms. Tess
Who’s he again? Wasn’t he in a band?
“This guy was my favorite artwork by Bryan Collier. What was his name again? He was in a band, I remember that part. Oh, yeah! John Lennon!” – Alisa
Bryan Collier-inspired collages
The GIRLStart girls who went to the Joslyn Art Museum to see the Bryan Collier illustrations created their own artworks “My Day at the Joslyn,” utlizing a collage technique.
“I think I can spell the word collage without looking.” – Alisa
Why do we have art museums?
“Sometimes an artist makes something so amazing he just wants to share it with the world.” – Alisa
“Sometimes you just have to have a special place to express yourself.” – Ariyah

The instructions are in a photo below. So is Ms. Ally helping the girls pin their work to the bulletin board for display. (Ms. Ally, thanks for coming with us on this field trip and thanks for donating two Bryan Collier books – Uptown and Visitng Langston – to the GIRLStart program!)
How close is too close?

John Lennon
Girls: Who is this?
Ms. Roberta: That’s John Lennon, one of the Beatles.
Alisa: What kind of beatle is he?
Click on this video link to see Alisa stroll through the Bryan Collier exhibit. Here you will see her do a double take as she recognizes the John Lennon illustration from the cover of one of the books displayed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNlh06RBzcQ
Here, Alisa fetches the book and holds it next to the original illustration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgUmHUFkHqY
The photo below? Ms. Roberta hooks Alisa up with some John Lennon on her iPod. Here she is listening to Imagine.
