Light and shadows

We were put into groups and allocated a section of the shop to work with; my group had the area of the stairs and counter. Each person in the group had to do a different job; my job was to use a viewfinder to select an area of my area, then I had to draw it tiny onto a piece of cellophane. I then had to stick it into a plastic slide and decide where I wanted to project it and talk about it to the rest of the class. Others had to go around and take scratching of the different textures, make images on the walls with tape and string, some people had to select an area of the shop and make a stencil to put on the projector and project it onto the wall. I admire how each projection was different, some were in slide shows, shadowed on the ceiling, flashing onto a certain part of the wall and moving round in circles. I liked the way that everyone had a different opinion on how their pieces should have been presented; lots of them had movement which gave the pieces unique personalities. If I had to repeat the process I would probably brainstorm my ideas first and experiment more with the lighting.
