"Working in groups of 5 (no bigger than 5, no smaller than 3), using your workbooks as the primary tool of investigation, construct a time-based photograph documenting the social interactions between the people at your picnic on Mount Edgecombe. This photograph must consider specific aspects of the members in your picnic. You will be expected to have an understanding of body measurements and calibration forming a design philosophy. This photograph will form the groundwork for the drawing in the following week."
In the first session of workshops we begun to study human ecology; the interactions between people and their environments. To do this we had a class field trip to Mount Edgecombe where we would hold a standard picnic in small groups, taking plenty of pictures from our own perspectives and noting down peoples interactions.
On the day of the field trip we had excellent weather which provided us with brilliant lighting for our photography. It was suggested that every person from the picnic took a large sum of photos each suitable to be used for a collage in one of the later sessions, I ended up with more than enough photos which came in handy later on.
