yo peeps, there's a coupla cool paintings by us lot in the cape of good hope pub on the plain roundabout,(ones a copied painting buy an amazing S.African artist me just cant remember the name of right now- oops!, and the others copied from a photo),theres also some bad cheesey penguin graff out the back garden but we aint got decent flix of that yet... check 'em all out......

Heres a couple of piccies from a graff workshop inSt.Lukes church Oxford where they have a youth group called the Thursday club. They had two hours to design their letters and paint them.

Unfortunately all the finished piece photos are camera shake central so you got to imagine the outline n shadow. A couple of them got onto highlights too ... not bad for 2 hours..

Outdoor art at Kilve

Hello peeps. 'ere we ave a most fine seelecti-on of art made by years 8 and 9 (around 11 n 12 years old). This is only a wee fragment as my photoing skills are miniminimal. The course lasts a week and the youngsters (about 40 of them) get a week off school to do it! There are 4 artists running workshops plus me being a helper. The artists do; willow weaving and 3D, mixed media, 2D colour and expression / technique and printing so they get to do a bit of everything. Its residential so they make lots of new mates and have loads of fun. These are the willow deer..

ACCh wont load photo. Anyway they do loads of drawing exercises, we draw each other by candle light and with the paper under cloths, also we draw outside in daytime and night-time. then they do colour exercises to understand about the range of colours and mixing etc. They do tight line drawings based on sketches from Williton station (below) and learn how to grid up pictures to enlarge them. they get to go on the low ropes and outdoor stuff as well in the dark and watch Pirates of the Caribbean when everyone is knackered. we go out everyday and draw or make sculptures in different places. on Tuesday we went to Williton 1950's train station...

acch wont load photos oh well...

On thursday we went to kilve beach... Very nice. spent the afternoon walking and drawing collecting ideas to make into images later.
pastel piccie of the beach using colour mixing skills they have learned..

These wire models get covered in plaster bandage...

OK heres Williton 1950's train station. Some of the kids pictures that they did (i'll try n load them later) were blinding.

They have steam trains here that go up and down the coast.
