Outside Workshops..

I wanted to explore other options of how I can develop my idea outside of an exhibition context...

My Ideas:

• Use GPS tracking devices/ phone apps and encourage people to draw with the lines they are creating
• A treasure trail for adults, create a set of rules, a booklet, an app, that encourages people to do lots of interesting activities on a walk for example stop and pick up..., draw... record what you can smell... how many colours can you see... what is the road name... this could be good but as it is so cold now it is going to be hard to try and get people to want to take part
• This does give me an idea of how my touch glove could be part of this project. This could be one of the tasks, a sound could play and the participants task is to put the glove on and touch things until they find that specific sound. 
• I could ask people to take loads of photos then I can make videos for people individually on their journeys, I don't like this idea as although it would be using the participants journeys I don't think they would get that much use out of this video and it could be easily forgotten. 

Thinking about these ideas, if this is a workshop setting outside, I will ask people to come to a specific place to complete the workshop, this is a place I have picked and it isn't their own surroundings. Yes it is getting people to go outside, but my aim is to encourage people to pay more attention to their own surroundings, journeys they take all the time, so this approach doesn't fit my aims and this is why I am going to stop this avenue of investigation

I think having pop up exhibitions in busy places like train/bus stations at the time when people are going/coming back to work would fit my cause better, but then the problem with this is getting the audience interested!
