Sorry about all the questions, and feel free to ignore them if I'm being too intrusive. I am just trying to understand how this works. I've never heard of anything like this.

Mr T has a big box of these colourful plastic figures. There are two sizes, adult and child, and they come in male and female. They have different clothes and hair. To me that was a distraction. But you'll notice that the third figure in the standing group is wearing something like a police uniform. The figures can stand or sit and raise or lower their arms.
This is a timeline exercise, hence the three boards. It is possible he was expecting a more linear sequence, but that doesn't matter. He said to make scenes from my relationship with Madame T.
I chose and posed the figures in an allegorical fashion, because otherwise there would be nothing to show. (Every scene would be two seated figures facing each other.) I don't know if this is what Mr T expected. The instructions are deliberately vague. The reaction on this thread shows that I did a good job.
The order the scenes happened is not the order I made them. I started at the end, then did the accepting scenes in the middle, then the beginning and finally the adult scenes in the middle. At the same time I was explaining what the scenes meant. I'm guessing it took 15 minutes, but it could have been longer.
Mr T does a lot of work with children.
