- Notes from Thursday 7th October

Choose what you bring beforehand:

--> Make a selection of 3-6 photos that you took during the Delfshaven trip.

--> Select 3-6 photos of a situation where you were present.

Print the photos (normal paper, use the print room) and bring scissors, glue, markers...

Group work: look together at the pictures and divide them in two stacks, o create a narrative by contextualizing, and select others that you use for fictionalizing.
