Abandoned umbrellas

I’m working in my educational (personal) project with social enviroment and littering and also willing to give statement against littering by using broken umbrellas in installation. For this installation I need these broken umbrellas found from streets of from people in general. As we all know wind and rain is bad combination. But anyway umbrellas are used in those circumstances and they are easily broken. I have already been taking pictures of umbrellas lying on the streets and various other places. And I have collected few of them with me. But I need more so I made poster that engourages people in Mary I to bring these umbrellas for me.

Hopefully even some of you!

Well anyway my interactive part needs some thinking still but I’m looking forward to seeing how many umbrellas I can get and also where I can place my installation. Because I found out that extra stuff is not too willingly welcomed around reception area where I would most likely place installation. So no one could not miss it. But also other places are possible. I’ll keep my eyes open to both umbrellas and palces. 🙂

ed project

Hiya! Im basing my project on the idea of art therapy.  I want to work in a special ed. setting next year so am quite interested in the idea of using art for the expression of feelings/scenarios etc particularly for children with special needs.  I want to integrate this with the idea of using animals, because animals are often used in story books, fairy tales etc.  I have sketches done an am going to integrate ict into it by having children create a story using the animala characters I created.  I have loads of different ideas but finding it quite difficult to actually settle on one!

Site

Added a page on the project to our site. Will add photos and docs as the project evolves. Early days yet:

If any of you have the time to look around the rest of the site, I’d love to get feedback!

Exhibition Masterplan

Hi everyone

Here is the exhibition plan for the show at 1:50. It prints out at A2 full scale, but an A3 is still readable I think.
What do you think?
Cheers
