Workshop 03- Planning

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for taking charge of your different sections in this week's session, it was both productive and enjoyable for the pupils. Will give you a bit of feedback about specific aspects next week.

For the coming week, I think it’s important that we all go and look at the space where the work will be displayed, so I think we should begin the morning with this.

Then have the same kind of exercise as this week, with the "Consequences" drawing, but instead use text. So whoever would like to lead this can take the opportunity!!!

After I think it would be good to refer back to the mask image of the previous week and recap the identity and narrative of these, so that all pupils are clear about the source for developing their image. Anyone who wants to change will need to be supported with establishing who their image will portray.

I would really like to see a development in the use of text, so it would be good to have as many creative ways as possible to use text as a design or visual tool. With all your different ways of exploring processes, would for instance, James, John and Julia who all work with text, like to introduce their very different ideas in the use of text? And anyone else who wants to contribute?

Maybe also to expand the use the photographic images, as repeat design motifs, etc, so if anyone wants to work on this and lead an exploration, that would be great.Let me know if you have any ideas, or would like any materials to be provided.

Workshop 02

Draw/Make/Photograph//

The pupils were asked to choose a detail from the photographs taken the previous week, in this case the subject was body parts. The purpose of this sequence was to take either a shape or pattern and each time remove it from its context and move towards an abstracted form. The activity was intended to get the pupils to think about not what they draw but how they draw and the modeling was to engage them in three dimensional visualization.
