I Left My Heart in San Francisco Paper and Blade Looking in: The famous song and Valentine’s Day have inspired our first diY project. The four artists working on Paper and Blade have each been inspired by their own personal histories. Mayumi Hamanaka’s work combines lost photographs from the Japanese Tsunami along with her own photographic works. Kai MargaridaRamirez has combined images from her grandmother’s home with her intricate handiwork. Do you have a connection to this city or to another place? What image does this connection make you think of? Tools: map pencil scissors or razor blade glue one sheet of paper (big enough to cover your heart) How to do it yourself: Find a map of your place. (If you don’t have access to a map, find one online.)

I  Left  My  Heart  in  San  Francisco  Paper  and  Blade    Looking  in:    The  famous  song  and  Valentine’s  Day  have  inspired  our  first  diY  project.      The  four  artists  working  on  Paper  and  Blade  have  each  been  inspired  by  their  own  personal  histories.  Mayumi  Hamanaka’s  work  combines  lost  photographs  from  the  Japanese  Tsunami  along  with  her  own  photographic  works.  Kai  Margarida-­‐Ramirez  has  combined  images  from  her  grandmother’s  home  with  her  intricate  handiwork.    Do  you  have  a  connection  to  this  city  or  to  another  place?  What  image  does  this  connection  make  you  think  of?    Tools:

What  do  you  think  of  when  you  see  this  place?  

Find  an  image  -­‐  search  online,  make  a  sketch,  or  take  a  photograph.  

Cut  out  the  image  and  glue  it  to  the  map.  

Draw  a  heart  over  your  map.  Make  sure  it's  big  enough  to  go  around  the  image.    

                               Cut  it  out!  Cut  the  outline  of  the  heart  and  your  image.      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be  careful.  Do  not  cut  away  any  of  the  parts  that  touch  your  heart.

It’s  a  good  idea  to  place  a  piece  of  cardboard  or  a  cutting  mat  under  the  paper  before  you  cut,  so  that  you  don’t  damage  your  table.  

Glue  your  heart  onto  another  piece  of  paper.    

 Frame  it,  display  it,  cherish  it!                                    Have  fun!
