Simon Grennan invites students from Scotland, Samoa and Hawai’i to draw their own visualisations of four characters from  Stevenson’s story The Beach of Falesá. Four briefs containing the charchter descriptions become the point of departure for this workshop. Students are then asked to fold an A2 sheet into four tall panels and to begin to draw the four charcters taking inspiration from the descriptions. Once this is done, students form small groups and explain to each other why they have made their visualisations and elect to show and tell one of these descriptions to the whole class.

Simon follows up showing his own four designs and explains the reasons behind his final visualisations. This leads to a group discussion on the significance of ways in which we are all differently positioned in making visualisations of other people, even fictional ones.
