Day 8

 Yesterday I arrived to Slocumb around 9:30 am and spent most of the morning cutting images for my Fairfield University collage. This process took me most of the morning and up until lunch time. After I took some time off to go back to my room, eat some food and sit outside with friends, I arrived back at Slocumb around 1:00 pm and worked until 2:00 to complete the layout of the DU collage. I went back to Slocumb around 7:30 pm and glued every image for the DU collage onto the canvas, then finished up around 9:30 pm and headed back to my dorm.

Hours: 5.5 hours total

9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Weekly reflection 5/10 - 5/15

       Over the past two weeks I have been able to complete 4 collages and have works for over 30 hours in the past 5 days! The first day was mainly about finding a routine and realizing that we get to make our own schedules and it is on us to make sure that we get our job completed by the end of the day. I really enjoy 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 be independent with my project but reminds me that he is always there to help whenever I need it. He lets me decide when I can come in, what my goals are and how I plan out my collages.     Everyday kind of looks that same because I have to go through the same steps to complete my collages. Either heading over to the library to print out images first thing or going straight to Slocumb to start cutting images and glueing them on. The most time consuming part of this whole p

Day 12

On Monday I woke up around 8:00 am and decided to work from my dorm room because the night before I had done the layout for the Connecticut College collage and I did not want to mess it up. I also had all of the materials needed for me to complete it. Since I already knew what the lay out was going to look like, I knew that I was going to have to print out more images. So before senior seminar at 11:30 I went to the library and printed them all out, and on my way out I ran into my friends Olivia and Emily and we headed over to Jake's before seminar. After senior seminar and taking a little break to go eat lunch with friends, I picked up one last pre-made canvas from Corby to complete the UVM collage. Once I got back to my dorm around 1:00 pm, I started working on cutting those last few images and gluing them on and same thing with some smaller images to fill in the blank spaces. Once I was done I added on the first layer of mod podge, then let it dry and added on a second layer to

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
