Remediating Vassar’s Thompson Memorial Library

The idea behind remediating an image that represents Vassar was to learn basic aspects of photoshop while also applying some concepts of remediation from our class discussion.  I have chosen to take an image of the Thompson Memorial Library in the winter time and overlay some images of Vassar students (some of my friends).  Behind the library you can see Matthew Vassar looming above in the clouds looking over his creation.  The image is my commentary on Vassar student life: students enjoying themselves, getting ready for the spring by dressing like it’s 80 degrees out when it’s really in the 50’s, while also constantly being reminded of the massive amounts of work awaiting them in the library.  I added Matthew Vassar, the ominous being we speak so fondly of as Vassar students, as a tribute to all the glory that is Vassar!
