When its a map….
These images were taking during a project at Marriotts School in Stevenage
I had my facilitator hat on
and was encouraging Yr7staff and students
to see and use space differently
We armed students with masking tape and asked them to
create a map of their experiences at school.
This map covered the entire floor in the hall.
Over 150 students contributed to it.
This was a very simple idea but the results were fantastic, students worked in groups, negotiating and collaborating. Spatial awareness was crucial as was developing a visual language together.
Some of the images created had obvious explanations
and some…
were a little more opaque!
Either way, plenty of things to discuss
and consider.
