Maps of Our Community
Inspired by Aminah Robinson
Students began this project by discussing our community and the places that make it important to us. Each student chose one location and created a series of prints using styrofoam. Next, students observed, described, and interpreted artwork by Aminah Robinson. Aminah Robinson created many mixed media artworks about the people and places that comprised her community of Columbus. Classmates then traded prints, experimented with sewing, and added embellishments to complete their own meaningful maps.

The blue is a river leading to a sewer. The slit on the edge is the sewer line.               |
