kettles yard review



Kettle’s Yard is a house with a permanent collection of early twentieth century works of art and a gallery presenting a changing programme of contemporary and modern art exhibitions. There is a lively programme of events including music and workshops.

Between 1958 and 1973 Kettle's Yard was the home of Jim and Helen Ede. In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.

At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be

"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."

Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.

Our newspaper Design

on our newspaper we decided that it needs to stand out have a good headline and different patterns.

on the first and second pages we decided to do fasion and clothing using all the local stores from around the area.

pages three and four we decided were going to be visual arts, crafts, museums and universitys/colleges.

in the center pages we decided that it would be music/club scene with an interview with ricky from the media department who is in a band called violet bones.

we then decided that the last few pages would be about film, visual arts, comedy and animation.

it is important to do a risk assessment because they need to weigh up the risks to see if it is dangerous to perform outside and if it is the school could get sued.

it has changed the impact of the performance because people who said they could go might not to be able to now we also had to tell press and change to posters so it set us back a day.

our dress rehearsal went well as we managed to played well together and listened to each other
i felt the outfit was comfortable as it was just a plain t-shirt.
i think they are successful as there plain and simple with our CraM and cramba logo.
i would change the mask if i had time to change because it was ichy and annoying.

i officially invited heart radio to my event after talking to the events organizer and filling out an online form
i then updated the tumblr blog with everything my group has done today using screensnaps and links

Monday 18 January 2010



the two groups have a sense of band identity by wearing unique designed outfits, for example arco iris are wearing matching hoodies, in the tudbox clip they used lights on their big drums to stand out more.

the band connects with each other by the head drummer who blows a whisle and makes gestures towards the band so they know when to come in at their parts and thudbox ran to the rhythm of the xylophone player.

both bands arrange themselves into the type of instrument there playing with the small instruments at the front and the larger instruments at the back.

the light effects in the thubox performance are good how the blue stands out in the dark and contrasts with the red background lighting, the banners in the arco iris band gives the performance a more samba feel towards it because it adds more colour and gives a more samba feel towards it.

reflection of my plan

my plans changed on Wednesday because of the snow as i had to go home as the buses weren't running properly.

my campaign was still successful even though it was snowing i managed to get some photos and signatures for my campaign.

i would of made my campaign more obvious to people by having a board saying free hugs so people would have known what i've done.

next week i will go out and get more signatures and more photos of hugs.

Wednesday 6 January 2010

my plan for today is to go to town and do my campaign free hugs
i am meeting up with some friends who said they would help me go round town and hug people and take photos to put on my blog.
we will make a banner that says free hugs so people know what our campaign is.
my expectations are that it may go well but we may be questioned for hugging people.
