We've been to see an exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery in Soho. One of the photographers in the exhibition we saw was called Anna Fox. We loved this one of her photographs and wondered if she changed the CURVES!

We did a workshop with Madeline on using photoshop. It was good fun. I played with the CURVES tool and experimented with putting in and taking away different amouns of Red Green and Blue from my pictures.
I'm going to upload the pictures here so you can see how differnt the photographs look when you change the levels of these coloirs. In one of hte pictures, Alicia, we were able to make the wooded deck look much richer and more wood-like. In the original photo it was a bit too grey for me.

I've been looking at film and video made by kids to get some ideas. I love this project made here in East London by kids from a Pupil Referral unit. I think i've seen it before, or bits of it...It's called Beneath the Hood and it was made by Eelyn's production company!!

We wne tto see Alicein Wonderland in 3-D. When you look at how it is filmed, and how the characters are made up and dressed, its easy to imaging the people who made the film having been to the portrait gallery: Look at these images - a bit similar?

I first heard about this play - MIdsummer's Night Dream - when i was 8 or maybe 9. I was reading the book Ballet Shoes and the three girls in the story were cast in different roles in the play.
I remember one of the girls, Petrova - the worst dancer and the one who HATED acting - had the easiest part. Puck. But she kept forgetting the few lines she had. What i remember most was the fairies got to fly through the theatre on wire ropes. I wonder will they fairies fly today?

I brought in a photo of my granny and grandad. They were at a dance at university. They were very young, probably only 19 or 20. They are in their 60s now. And it is a black and white photograph in a wooden frame. Granny is wearing a satin dress. My grandad has glasses on and no beard. he has a beard now and grey hair. My mum loves this picture.

I thought this was an interesting interview with the writer of Nation - I found it on Youtube...
"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"

"The Hip Hop was extraordinary. I always thought I was too old for hip hop; I never 'got' breakdancing... I thought it was all for young people"
