Thursday was Miguel's tutorial where clarified what I had been dong for the modules and generally discussed what I can learn from the Garston Project, how I can direct the imaginations of the children into creating something which I can then use and manipulate, how I can use specific materials to get them thinking. Also f there is to be an exhibition at the end of it, can I produce a film? I really liked how my film in the last project was received, so I would like to use some illustration and models this time...Maybe I could make the children's drawings come to life...I'll have to get drawing to make a mock up and become familiar to the programme first.
Also later around 3.30pm I met the group involved in the whole of the Four Corners project.
We hit a boulder.
CRB check no must be done because the school are having Ofsted in at some point during the project so now parental permission and teacher supervision don't cut it anymore. This will take between 2 and 4 weeks, I'll finish the form up for Monday and give to Louise who will rush down to the school for the papers to be looked over...I hope we get the id documents back because all I can give them is my National Insurance Card, Birth certificate and a bank statement, but it says; "Wherever possible, where you hold a document containing a photograph...this should be provided" I take that I don't have to provide a photo as I am not providing a document with a photo, besides I only have a provisional licence to give, there is no way I'm giving my passport with the Berlin trip coming.
Other information from the meeting:
- The Mural must be done by 23rd March
- Possible exhibition to be held around the 5th April at LJMU
- Parents will be reminded of the photography as they had previously received a letter, this will also cover us for portfolio work, blog posts are questionable and will have to be looked into.
- Joyce asked about a Facebook page for the entire project to add a new diameter to the project, this was received well now she and one of the Four Corner's project leaders will set it up in the near future...probably to be more discussed in the next meeting.
About the Mural:
- Ages 7-12, 49 pupils in total
- Maybe 3 or 4 of these pupils from each class work on the actual Mural, altering the pupils every session.
- Total of 6 sessions, 2 sessions 1 hour long for prep, 3 to 4 session longer(10th, 17th and 24th March 1.30pm-3.15pm)
- Materials, mentioned the contact with Penny Bearman and the materials she uses for murals, 3 buckets outdoor paint in main colours, the detail in acrylic.
- Next Meeting 10th Feb, 3pm at Holy Trinity School.
Peter Appleton Group Tutorial, Friday:
- We need the initial contact! As Louise already has a CRB, she can go in to the kids before the rest of us to get them going, we need to right a script for her to help us get everything she may need.
- Make sure the wood the mural is going on is suitable for outside, preferable exterior ply wood.
- Can a group be brought to the Uni? Ambassadors? We can book a room, show them a film (Over the Hedge). Get them excited so they can pass it on to their classmates.
THEME: VISION OF THE FUTURE (whats on the other side of the fence?)
This is the painting I started last Friday afternoon, I made a few finishing touches adding detail to the background to create more of a horizon. I was thinking about how to create a vision of the future, a mystery. I was going to do a cityscape but found this oblivion far more interesting. It's a sort of reflection of my thinking on the Garston project and how I can gain interest in something not fully in motion but getting there.
