Prior to our first day in the studio we were told to select 6 items that we felt represented our own personality or identity.
We were then set a series of drawing tasks, one of which was based on our objects. For the other we were told to use body parts such as our hands or head to draw around and then decorate with what ever we thought most revealed something about our identity.
During the afternoon of the first day we gathered in the Walker space to watch a film entitled "Dirty, Pretty Things".
This film is a gritty thriller about the lives of immigrant workers in London. It linked to our current theme as it revealed the sacrifices many immigrant workers have to make in terms of their own identity in the process of searching for a better life.
