When I think of play, my mind moves to exploring the beach with my younger sisters, playing in the sand and water, then at night sitting by a fire just off the porch of the house. A book that illustrates just this is Anne &amp; Harlow Rockwell&#8217;s <em>At the Beach<\/em>, which depicts a little girl&#8217;s first time at the beach.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-832 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/beach-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/beach-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/beach.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">My goal during the workshop was to illustrate a passage from this children&#8217;s book. I think that my collage works well in the context of the book because it is both realistic of what a little girl will find at the beach but is also playful. For example, my final DIY illustration accurately depicts the setting of the beach yet adds a playful touch with a hat on the whale and a clock as the sun. The illustration\u00a0also provides a teachable moment for very young children who are just learning how to read because &#8220;sky,&#8221; &#8220;grass,&#8221; &#8220;beach,&#8221; and &#8220;sea&#8221; are all spelled out. I look forward to the digital workshop on Wednesday!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1373.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-831 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1373-e1492471236387-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1373-e1492471236387-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1373-e1492471236387-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoyed the collage workshop today and instantly picked out the two L.L.Bean magazines I wanted to use.
