Work at Kings continues - the students value the inclusive way the module sets out to engage with teaching and learning. An understanding of the underlying processes around learning is invaluable to understand how we grow. The latest engagement in what was another thoughtful and foundational session was excellent. It helped connect the group and started to get us thinking about what everyone wants from their involvement on the module. We used six thinking hats as a way of exploring engagement, I was interested in the different languages students chose to present their ideas, visual, textual and diagrammatical - all the sessions deliver tools that can be used to move studies on, I always ask students to consider how they can use them, to think about their role, what they want to explore and what hat they found comfortable wearing. Recent observations include - If your group talks to each other, they get better results. Writing and sketching ideas means that you can revisit your thoughts when reflecting to move the project forward.
Meanwhile some notes for the people working with POWER, the show
at Snape.
1, 2 - 3D printed rings that form part of proposed archaeology
to be found in the year 3000. The rings were created in 3D software after PowerStation
shaped pieces of metal were found in the dig in the year 3000.
The bronze PowerStation shaped pieces of metal are part of this
idea – ritual objects
5 – photos of archaeologist’s bags – each bag of tools is unique
to each individual archaeologist.
13 – this is a text that is said at the start of all public
meetings by the chair.

Leather pieces – the spaces of land controlled by SZC cut out of
a cow hide.
17 – alludes to garment that could be worn
27 – both the negative and positive pieces
28 – a gift
Black 3D prints reference earth moving happening on site –
systems and holes
Bookwork – allows multiple readings of the prints through
juxtaposition
Folded prints – are about communication, connection and –
systems. the starting point was the idea that there is so much data generated
to enable the workforce to be constructed. The titles are from the
