Sensor Shacks, YOUNG AT ART FESTIVAL

Written by artist Angela on 1 June 2005

Last week at St. Colman's Bann I brought the pupils on a visit to Belfast to view my installation in a garden shed in Botanic Gardens, as part of the Belfast Children's Festival. 5 artists were commissioned to make a piece of work on the theme of the 5 senses & my theme was 'Touch' . Our photo shows some of the girls in my shed. We had a fantastic day & experienced & interacted with all the senses as well as viewing all the beautiful flowers in bloom in the gardens a& the exotics in the Tropical Ravine & the Palm House. We saw the 2 thousand year old mummy wrapped in linen no less !
Today we are preparing for our Open Day tomorrow , dancing & finishing off work.

Filming

Written by artist Angela on 22 April 2005

last week here at St. Colman's we had avisit from Orla & heather which was brilliant as they helped us a lot with our technical difficulties and we are now able to get online & upload from school. We taught Orla & Heather our dances and did some filming for the first time. The films turned out really well & you can watch our ' Willow Basket' dance from last week.This week we have been doing some drawing from the films, you can see Adam in this week's photo standing at the projector while Shannon's film of 'The Waves Of Tory' is playing.

WAVES OF TORY

Written by artist Angela on 22 March 2005

Today has been a seriously frustrating day technologically . was unable to get online, unable to install printer & then unable to install scanner onto Apple laptop . This I suppose is the reality of 'Multimedia " experimentations , it is 10 55 pm & I have finally successfully uploaded - HURRAH ! Please enjoy photo it has taken alot of work to get here ! We have danced ' The Waves of Tory ' though & the P 7 s are brilliant at it . Hopefully things will get easier again after Easter .

Winter School

Written by artist Angela on 27 January 2005

Winter School was excellent.I was really pleased with how my work/show came together and looked in the space and in the context of the show as a whole alongside the other artist's work.It was the first time I have made and shown any fabric work for about 7 years ,and it has been a real confidence building experience for me in terms of my practise. I feel my work is in progress and these are very positive beginnings.Iloved seeing the other artist's work in 'Response' and it has been an extremely inspiring and motivating experience having time with all Kids Own Crew and Artists for 4 days. I am very excited about next phase of residency.
