Workshop part 2

For the second part of the project we swapped over with another group and wrote a brief for their project after they'd already made an outcome. The group that we rewrote a brief for was a straight forward brief as what they'd done was put different parts together without thinking too much about it but still making it an interesting piece. We bullet pointed a few things that we would explain before starting a workshop with children.
  • Artist examples (on a powerpoint to begin workshop with)
  • Restrictions such as no glue, tape or scissors.
  • Imagination and creativity
  • No planning before (get stuck in with materials straight away)
  • Reusable material (once its made it can be taken apart again easily)
We then gave feedback to another group about what we'd came up with and I made a few notes on the things that they'd said to add to our brief that I thought were worth keeping a note of.
  • Exhibition after so all of the children can have a look and document before taking their sculpture apart again
  • Moving from table to table to get materials under a time restriction
I think this second part of the workshop was a great idea as it helps gathering ideas from other people outside your on group and also finding points that maybe the group that initially did the project hadn't picked up on. It's also a good way to use the tips and advice that other groups give to use and keep a note of.

 During the whole process I also took a look at how the tutors were engaging with us. 
  • They were hands on and getting involved helping
  • Friendly
  • Talking about ideas and concepts
  • Giving advice
  • Making everyone aware of time left
  • Encouraging
