I choose my original picture because it demonstrates a level of consumerism that I find troubling. Success in school is equated with the buying of things that can be found in a store. I choose to remix the picture by adding pictures of nature and the outdoors. These images demonstrate that the natural environment can provide richer learning experiences than any consumer experience. I covered the straight lines in the original to show that learning should not be contained in the traditional boundaries of school or classroom. Lastly, I added natural elements such as leaves and shells. This tactile element illustrates that learning is multi-faceted.
