The Fandango Foundry_ 13_02_2010

1. Consequence Creatures
We began the session with drawing 'consequences creatures', using the format of the game 'Consequences' in order to create hybrid monsters amalgated from bits of other animals. We gave them new names made from the names of the monster's constituent animals (e.g. alien + pig = alig).

2. Discussion & Intro
In order to understand how we could make a Fandango,
we talked about hybrid animals, nonsense poetry and looked at objects & buildings that are made from other objects & buildings.


3. Fandango Collages:
Next, we did a tour of the ICA and the children took polaroid photos of objects, surfaces quirks and details of what they were interested in. We then made collages in order to hybridise their ideas into 'Fandangos' (Please read earlier blog entry to find explanation for the workshop and what a Fandango is...)




4. The Fandangos!
From their collages, the children then went on to spatialise their ideas through making Fandangos.
