Collage Map of My Community Project DirectionsCreated by artist: Shannah Warwick

2. Think about where you live, go to school, shop, play and do things around town.

3. Use a pencil to draw a map of your community including the places you thought of from number 2.

4. Take out the collage materials from the kit. Look around your home for additional materials you may want to use.

Collage Map of My Community Project Inspiration Created by artist: Shannah Warwick

Create your own collage map inspired by a contemporary work of art in The Rockwell Museum Collection created by a female artist, Under the Elevated by DeAnn Prosia. DeAnn’s work celebrates the way buildings and structures fit together in a setting. Using felt, fabric, and mixed media materials, design a textile map of your community. What places and building will you include in your map?
