Alternative maps – group exercise
To start off the first Art & Design in Context assignment (‘The Map and the Territory’) this term, we will create alternative maps to Greenwich Maritime campus.
Form groups of 5-6. Discuss different ways in which the Maritime campus can be experienced, and generate ideas of how these experiences can be represented via a map/maps. Spend the next 45 minutes exploring the area, collecting materials for your maps and prepare to present your ideas to the rest of the group. Record your map – on paper/on your phones/via photographs, or any other way you see fit. It is up to you how you choose to organise yourselves in your group – however, it is important that each person has a role!
You may, for example, use / think about:
- found objects- photographs or filmed footage (on your mobile phones)- signs- senses and perceptions- routes, patterns and forms of navigation
Make sure you document the process (images, notes, etc) – evidence of participation should be reflected on your blogs!
