I’m working with young people who live on, or near to, Dartmoor. I have asked them to answer “would you classify Dartmoor as a theme park or a wilderness? They will be undertaking some research into Dartmoor and then together we will visit this place and do so fieldwork, before coming up with an answer.
I worked with 30 children from South Dartmoor Community College; together we collaborated on creating on mapping their emotional landscape. Seven maps were created in all and were the product of a course – Emotion Mapping – I helped devise in consultation with the art and media depart at the school.
