Tutor and Peer Discussions - Ideas and Beginning of Workshop

Over the last week I took part in a peer speed-dating style critique where my Foundation class were paired with the 2nd year students doing their Extended Diploma. From it I was given many good ideas such as creating pieces on objects of sentimental value to my peers, filming day-to-day activity of my class, creating a board to leave notes on of the viewer's own identity, enlarged finger prints, and dressing a man in womans clothing and vice versa and studying their mannerisms and body language in comparison to their usual attire.

After this I spoke to my tutors about the idea of creating a workshop for the audience and my peers to participate in, which would reflect the theme of identity. This idea felt right as it links into my goal of becoming an art therapist through a practical experience. I will soon be visiting the "Pick Me Up" exhibition at Sommerset House to gain inspiration and attend other workshops as well. We discussed the use of materials split by a person's facticity, for example: a person of a certain age group could only use a certain material. As my workshop will be held in a practical room below the exhibition space, I will have a live-feed from the workshop being shown in the exhibition area to advertise it. There will be coloured tape leading from my selected exhibition space to the workshop along with signs to advertise it.
