Monument Lab Field Trip
Description of the Monument Lab Field Trip
The Monument Lab Field Trip is an activity book to help you engage monuments in your city or town. It's a great way to engage commemorative works and the monument landscape. It asks you to get outside and explore your city, town, county, and public parks. What kinds of commemorative works do you notice? What do they look like? What are the materials used in the commemorative works? Who is represented in the monument landscape? What histories are being told?
The guide includes eight activities:
- Investigate
- Draw & Map the Space
- Dig In
- Confronting History
- Expanding the Pedestal
- Layers of the Past
- Propose a New Monument
- Design Your Own Monument
