Look at your world in a new way with Prattfolio’s viewfinder project inspired by artist Corita Kent’s famous exercise. The shape nods to windows of the Brooklyn campus library, which topped the list of favorite places to work at Pratt from our Fall 2025 Prompt.
Download the PDF. See below for instructions.
Instructions:
