The Exhibition:
​
There will be an exhibition at the college of some of the work we have been producing together - this will be around the middle of October.
​
Plenty of time for these - no panic!!!
​
Elements:
​
1 - A case of Me:
using the card suitcase we were given on day one - please think of creative ways we can transform this 2d box into an art statement to say something about the emotional baggage - the emotional load - that we carry around with us in life.
You can transform it however you wish:
paint it - Collage it - cut into it - stick things on it - put things inside it...
​
The key thing is to make it represent what you feel you are carrying around with you emotionally - Good or bad - light or heavy - whatever the emotional content - a mixture of many emotions
​
think about all the skills and processes we have used so far and how you can incorporate them into this piece..
​
​
Please do get in touch with me to chat through ideas and discuss ways of using the box...

The mash up - prep for week 07:
​
The mash up is a process I use to gather all sorts of creative input and meld it together into a free flowing digital statement/film.
​
Our inspiration will be - 'Here and Now'
just observing and gathering from around us this week - a view of our world through our creative lens...
​
The elements will be:
​
-
visual art - anything we have produced so far and anything you produce in-between now and week 07
-
Film/stills - use your phone to take footage and or stills of the world around you - whatever inspires you - grabs your attention - 5-10 seconds will do
-
text - using the Haiku format of 5-7-5 create a three line piece of prose - to describe your world - moment - idea etc.
-
Audio - Use your haiku and record an audio message on your phone to send in - ideally it would be great to have you read it and record it but if not find someone who could record it for you
-
Animation - download chatterpix and use it to photograph an object and then draw a line across it where you want a mouth to be - record your haiku or anything else you want to say and press save to camera roll and send to Rosy....
-
Music - I will be recording some music in response to the elements in the mash up
-
-
A haiku is three lines of verse -
-
1st line is 5 syllables - (the rhythm of the word)
-
the 2nd line is 7 syllables and the 3rd line is 5 again - see below for an example - try and capture the emotion and the moment and any senses of place...
​
(5) - I love my sketchbook
(7) - observing what I see now
(5) - scratching lines of life
