Memory Map

Screen Printed T-shirt

Sixth graders attending St. Paul’s Episcopal School in the spring of 2010 created the quirky drawings and typography featured in these t-shirt designs. The students, all of whom were familiar with Lake Merritt through their weekly volunteer clean-up efforts, participated in workshops held at Lakeside Park and in the classroom. They were led through several life drawing exercises using a variety of mediums, and received hands-on experience making screen prints.

The drawings are variously precise, gestural, scratchy and fluid, but they all have an immediacy to them that bespeaks kid energy and kid logic. The Memory Map design features a drawing by Dallas Watkins who was asked, along with other students, to study a map of Lake Merritt then to draw his own from memory, adding points of personal interest.
