Visual Communication - collages

Today in class we worked in groups and made a collage with the thought in mind 'sense of place'. We looked through magazines and newspapers and cut out the things we individually liked or gave us a 'sense of place'.
We started the lesson by writing down what we personally felt like our sense of place was. The main similarities between everybody was that we wrote down places where we felt safe, cosy, being with family and friends, holidays and happy family memories. After discussing our sense of place with the whole class we worked in our groups on our collages. From doing this exercise I decided that my sense of place was based around family holidays as we always took family holidays to different places and I always felt safe and happy being away with my family. As a whole the classes collages were very similar with pictures of homes, beds and food.
