About our project...

For the last few weeks of Term 4 and the first 5 weeks in Term 5, we will be working on a collaborative project with a group of adults and the staff at Beulah Resource Base. Each Wednesday for the first 4 weeks of June we will be producing work in workshops at BRB and The BRIT School , then we will spend the remainder of the week in school working on the material created and gathered to produce work for the final event. There will be a Celebration day in week 5 (Wednesday 6thJuly) at BRB where we will share our outcomes.

A SENSE OF ME: Aim of project: To create sensory installations at BRB exploring memories and/or ambitions of the adults. Between workshops students will be developing the animations and other material towards the sensory installations.

FINAL CELEBRATION

Today was absolutely wonderful, i haven't had that much fun in ages. Yesterday i had this big feeling that everything was going to go wrong because i didn't really think through how i may keep the frames standing, but luckily once i got to the space everything was ok, because i found a load of flower pots, that were heavy enough to keep the frames standing through out the exhibition. What was nice was the minute i stepped into the space, Nishi came in to come help me out, it was lovely, because i know that if i was in her shoes i wouldn't get involved because i would know there is a lot to do.
We began by putting up the back drop, which was a challenge in its self but thanks to Nishi and Peter, it was up in no time. But then we thought we should move it against the door so it was facing the audience, this was a lot better because the light shined through the painting bringing it alive. Nishi loved the background and began sifting through all the other things i had made, for example the reindeer, which was a hit all after noon. My aim was to make the whole installation as cluttered as possible and the final touches did the job, for example the flowers and the cotton wool. Nishi helped tying the string onto the snow balls and putting the frames up.
Even though Nishi, doesn't say much, i knew she was proud of what she had done and to be honest i am really proud of her too, she works hard and she just gets on with the task, but not in a negative way, but a happy positive way.
Once the installation was up me and Nishi stood by it with carrots in our hands to give to the audience who wished to see our work. I could see Nishi had a little grin and was enjoying all the happy faces who would come to see our collaborative piece.
Even thought the window had fallen down and the snow balls, everything went fine and i think everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you Beulah for such a wonderful time, and i hope i will bump into you guys at an exhibition at some point in the future.
