This theme took place over 2 sessions. The first session we were put into groups of 2-3 and we had to create a collage. The theme was sense of place. Kate and I made a collage representing us individually and our lives. We put images such as make up, money, food etc. We had a section about university and a section, which was about us. It represented the journey of being in university and the responsibilities we had that we may have never had before such as finance, being able to budget our money for food and accommodation. During the next session we presented our collage to the class, we talked about the images representing university, which gave us a sense of freedom and then why different images were significant to us.
We then went on to discuss metaphors as a class, the first task we had was to think of artists that used Metaphors in their lyrics in different songs, It was surprising to see how many do. Some examples that Kate and I came up with were ‘The ice inside your soul’ and ‘Baby you’re a firework’ we then talked about how metaphors are used to send out a powerful message. Not just in songs but also as images. Susie gave us a number of images to look at, one, which I found particularly powerful, was the image below. Which is about animal testing.
At the end of this session we watched a video by Martin Luther King which was about his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, and looked at the different types of metaphors that he used to emphasis on things that he was saying.
