<strong>The Class of 2036</strong>, 2023, Digital print, 30 x 44 in. <br> The Class of 2036 is a collection of abstract portraits of Carnegie Mellon’s Children’s School’s kindergarten class. As the students enjoyed recess, I sat down with each of them for 15 minutes, asking questions about their personalities and interests. During these informal interviews, I recorded not only their responses but also my own observations to construct a full written portrait of each child.<br> I then translated these impressions into a sort of visual language that blended the students’ preferences with my own understanding of how color and shape convey identity. I placed them into a grid organized by the order in which I met them, and printed this grid onto a 30 x 44 in. poster for the classroom. <strong>The Class of 2036</strong>, 2023, zine, 4 x 3 in. <br> Each kindergartener went home with an interactive miniature zine yearbook. <strong>The Class of 2036</strong>, 2023 <br> About three weeks after meeting and speaking with the students, I returned to the classroom to present the poster and yearbooks to the students. I allowed them to choose which image(s) they identified with before sharing which portrait belonged to whom, and then facilitated a group discussion about abstraction, artistic intuition, and expressive freedom.
