In the second set of workshops, the children met us on site. We did an exercise, “Draw what you can see and What could be” This helps the ideas be more site specifjc to Herzog Park. The rich dept of seeing... “Draw what you can see and What could be” In the fjnal workshops the children work together to build ideas, and present these ideas to their fellow classmates. Workshops began by asking the children questions about their ideas of “Having Fun + Helping Nature” Drawing was encouraged so every child could answer. The scrolls were given, so the children would know their thoughts and ideas were valued, whilst a fast pace encouraged, with emphasis based on fun and ideas, rather than skill in drawing. In some schools we drew an elevation on the board, amalgamating all ideas on one image.
