Looking at a small picture and interpreting it on a large scale (A1)
We each drew a given picture and wrote our number on the back of the picture.
We had to draw using just ink. After that we stuck them together with sellotape in numerical order
This image was tiny, about 5cm square.

Then we rolled up the sello-taped drawings and took them onto the balcony

I really enjoyed this session because in the beginning I didn't know how to start. It was scary to copy a tiny image onto such a big scale. I spent about 10 minutes just staring at the image wondering where to start. I decided working on the surroundings, and moved onto the image later. I feel I learned how to work on a big scale from a small scale. Some detail was very small and I had to interpret it into a big scale. It reminded me of the Hockney exhibition "the Bigger Picture" in the Royal Academy last year.
