Day 4

 Today I decided to get up early to get a head start on my collages. I got to Slocumb around 8:00 am and immediately laid down a second coat of mod podge on the Wesleyan collage to secure all of the images and let it dry out for the rest of the day. I then went back to my SLU collage and continued to lay out where I wanted the images to be. As I was doing that I glued them down to keep it all in place. Around 12:30 I finished glueing everything in place then I did the first coat of mod podge and set it out to dry. To end the day I started cutting out pieces for the second SLU collage so I can be in a good place for tomorrow!

Hours: 6 hours total

8:00 am - 2:00 pm

Weekly reflection 5/17 - 5/22

 This past week I was about to complete over 32 hours of work and 3 different collages. Most days were more or less the same with making my college by cutting, gluing or printing. I feel like I have been very responsible with my time this past week by taking advantage of all my available time. I have enjoyed being in Slocumb during this time because it is such a laid back atmosphere yet everyone around you is working hard and keeping their focus it makes you do the same thing. My mentor, Corby, has let me have free rain on what I do with my time in Slocumb. He lets me decide when I can come in, what my goals are and how I plan out my collages.  Once I ran out of pre-made collages, I thought that I was going to have to make more which would have taken me a full day. So Corby and I decided that it would be better for me to order more canvases from Amazon. The next day Corby told me that he found some pre-made canvases in the supply closet that I am able to use. This made the pro...

Day 6

 Today I did not get as much done as I hoped to but I was able to prepare for the week ahead. I started off my day by going to the library around 9:00 am and printing out five different sets of images to start cutting out. I then went over to Slocumb to finish out my second SLU collage by cutting out smaller images it fill in blank spaces then adding the first coat of mod podge. After I decided to go back to my dorm to cut out images for my Connecticut College collage. I was not able to get very far because of a doctors appointment that took up most of my afternoon. Later tonight I continued to cut images to prepare me for tomorrow, where I plan to add a second coat of mod podge to finish the SLU collage then start the Connecticut College collage. Hours: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm 10:00 pm - 11:30 pm

Day 2

Today started out similar to yesterday, I woke up around 8:30 am and headed over to Slocumb at 9:45.  My plan for today was to lay out all of the pieces that I cut out yesterday on one of my canvases then glue this down. As I started to lay pieces down, I realized that I was not going to have enough to fill the whole canvases. What I decided to do instead was glue down the pieces that were already in place then go to the library after lunch and print more. Once I had all of the new images printed and cut out it was around 1:30 pm, so for the rest of the day I continued to glue and find places for the new images. The lack of images the I had did put me back a few steps but now I know that tomorrow I need to get to Slocumb early to finish the Wesleyan collage and start my SLU collage. Hours: 6 hours total 9:45am - 12:45pm 1:30pm - 2:30pm 10:00pm - 12:00am
