Day 7: We spent the day building our final exhibition by arranging the boxes. We displayed various drawings that were collected from Instagram by hanging them from string and also put our sketchbooks out for people to look through. We then talked about our work with guests who visited the exhibition.

Day 4: We spent the afternoon designing our exhibition set up, thinking of ways we could use the limited materials we had which included 25 cardboard boxes, paint and string. Arranging the boxes in various configurations and adding paint meant that we could create a suitable area to display our sketches.
