Quotes from Mollison's Synopsis for this Body of Work
"...fascinated by the diversity of children's experiences, depending on their school."
"...struck by the similarities between children's behavior and the games they played."
Combination, Comparison, Pattern.
Workshop: After viewing the exhibit, participants will discuss the impact of the photographs as a body of work in comparision to the work as individual photographs. (i.e. how does the work act as a group or alone?) As the question arises: How does pattern contribute to the work as a whole and with individul pieces?
Relying on the functions of combination, comparison, and pattern in Mollison's Playgrounds participants will create a group show of group work. Each team made up of between two to five people will collaborate to diagram and illustrate one remembered playground game (Tag, Hide-n-Seek, Oly Oly Oxen Free, Kick the Can, Cops and Robbers, Ghost in the Graveyard, etc.). Before beginning the diagram they must write the name of the game on the board, so that the diagram isn't repeated. Each group must also write how they could use that game as part of a prompt for an art work in a teaching setting. This prompt will be listed next to the diagram as a label. Finished work will then be exhibited as an online collection in a blog (photographed and then uploaded using a mobile device) mimicking Mollison's website, or on the walls or tables the same way his work is on display in the museum.
As a large group participants will answer the same questions about their own work as about Mollison's: After viewing the exhibit of their work, participants will discuss the impact of the photographs as a body of work in comparision to the work as individual photographs. (i.e. how does the work act as a group or alone?) As the question arises: How does pattern contribute to the work as a whole and with individul pieces?
