Combining the two elements of collage and photography from last week's session, this week the group each selected 10 photographs they had taken and then worked in their pairs to turn them into compositions, thinking especially about the layout and placement of their images. We looked at the artist Kurt Schwitters to get ideas about different compositions and even though most didn't like his work, they appreciated the thought that had gone into Schwitter's compositions. It took a little while for some of the group to get into this activity, particularly those paired with someone they didn't normally work with, but once they got going they produced some excellent results It was wonderful to see students working together, in discussion and making joint decisions.
