Me + Photocopier + Kids = The Ultimate Recess

Here are a few images of the 20ft collage I made with the children during my workshop at the Aldrich Contemporary Museum.This piece is currently on view in the education center of the museum.

It all started by asking the kids..."If you could do anything you wanted during recess..what would you like to do?"

And as you can see, some of their answers included...

"I want to play basketball" -"I want to play football" - "I want to go swimming" - "I just want to be by the pool" - "I want to dive off a diving board" - "I want to be a pirate" - "i want to be an Indian" - "I want to be Superman."

Special thanks to Nathan Lewis and Roland Becerra for helping assemble all the pieces that last day. I could have never finished this without their expert help.

I would also like to thank Carolina Pedraza, Museum Educator: Youth & Family Programs, for her endless support and enthusiasm as I squashed kids, grass, bark and flowers onto the copier :)
