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.

What i have done so far

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

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.

homework

find a samba video
write about why you choose it
write about performance
write about costumes
where has it been filmed - background info
link to your own experience at the junction.

i sent out a petition out on at town and crc Wednesday the 6th and got 26 signatures but i had to leave early due to weather problems. my online petition has 163 members.






the graph shows that the online petition was more successful than the street petition mainly because of the snow

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.

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.

after one day of making my group i have 89 members

i was surprised at the amount people who joined because i didn't think my friends would take it seriously and ignore the group because they didn't know it was for college some of my friends even invited their friends to join the group.

Tesco's 14th store in the Cambridge area is in Mill Road, Cambridge, one of Cambridge’s most cosmopolitan areas. The No Mill Road Tesco Campaign was set up to oppose these plans, and kept Mill Road Tesco-free for almost two years. Over 5,000 people signed our on-street petition and 1,000 objected to its planning applications. Tesco lost 3 planning applications, an alcohol license application and a public enquiry, leaving it with one of its smallest stores in the UK that it will have extreme difficulty in delivering to. The opening of the store brings the campaign into a second phase: ever-more active support for local traders, and making sure that any breach of planning condition or public safety results in Council action.

this information was taken from http://www.nomillroadtesco.org/. a website against the mill road tesco.

tom woodcock came in to our school to and told us about how he protested to stop tescos coming to mill road and ruining local stores. even though they were unsuccessful in their campaign they still managed to stop them from being able to sell alcohol and stopped them having huge lorry delivery's .

we did a photo shoot wearing a wearing our campaign t-shirts we designed and printed in lessons we went into the hall and took a big group photo then single photos behind the stage
in front of a graffiti covered wall to give the photo some effect.

blog reflection

today I created a blog post describing my two stencils (colour and black and white version)
what went well was that the pictures uploaded successfully and without problems
what went wrong was that the black and white stencil was small and became pixelated
tomorrow i need to start cutting out my stencil

My design is based on the free hugs campaign
this wasn't part of my original campaign idea but i decided i preferred this one.

this is the black and white stencil template of my design

these videos are about the high street store primark and how they get their cheap prices.

i have added a poll on to my facebook account asking which campaign my friends would prefer

over time my friends will vote and i can add them to te blog.

A campaign that would improve the quality of my life would be to improve the public transport service as I think that the current service is confusing and unreliable. I think this would benefit the target age group (16-19 year olds) as they use the service almost daily. It would improve my life as me and my friends always get confused by busses and sometimes get on the wrong bus.

A campaign that would improve the life of others would be to stop racism as it’s a big problem nowadays. I think this would have an impact in the target age group as it’s a big problem in this generation and we could stop it.

A campaign that would make people smile would be to bring back the 90’s as it was one of the greatest cheesiest decades ever. It would be useful because everyone would be happy because life would be simpler. It would benefit the target age group because they grew up in the 90’era so can relate to the campaign.

Stencil evaluation

my idea is taken from another t-shirt design.
i like the simplicity of the design.
the H and O in who are blurred because the original design had the ghostbusters logo and i decided that that it would be to difficult to cut out the stencil.

"Banksy previously believed to be one Robert or Robin Banks and born in 1974/5 in Yate, Bristol.
He doesn't do interviews very often but was interviewed in 2003 by Simon Hattenstone, a reporter for the Guardian newspaper. He described banksy as looking like a "cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of the Streets" and turning up wearing scruffy casual jeans and t-shirt, sporting a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring.

Banksy started doing graffiti when he was 14 years old but admits "I was quite crap with a spray can, so I started cutting out stencils instead." He has come a long way since spraying his tag on the walls of bristol. He changed his stomping ground to Shoreditch in london where you will find lots of his work on display, to holding exhibitions in Los Angeles."

http://www.banksyunmasked.co.uk/who-is-banksy.html

my design is using words the from theme song for the gohstbusters movie
it was inspired by a friend of mines t-shirt i think it would be successful at it would target both sexes my shirt connotes the black with the white as it makes the writing stand out also the orange stands out as its the only colour on the shirt it addresses my target audience because the age group would have grown up with ghostbusters and recognize the logo.

my designs are similar except i chose not to have a ghost on my stencil.

Battlefront: Aimee Nathan - Da Koffee Kup Krew from Battlefronters on Vimeo.

the video i chose was called the "Da Koffee Kup Krew" it was trying to promote anti-littering and i think it was successful in that. I think it is a clever video because its showing the coffee cups being bad to the environment for example, littering and leaving lights on and it gives you different messages as the video goes on. i think the use of comedy in this worked well and the video wouldn't have worked as well without it.

my campaign was to move college to Disneyland
i was surprised that there were more girls than boys that said no
i was also surprised that all the 17 year olds said they would want to move the college to Disneyland
i asked the question because i feel that people would be happier in college if it was at disneyland
also more people would be exited to go to school if it was at Disneyland
i think that the people who said no because theyre not fans of Disney or that they like the school where it id

this is my final design for the creative and media diploma which then got chose for the main creative and media logo i chose to do a simple but fun design that shows what the course is about
our printer only prints four colours so we had to change the green splat to a yellow splat so that we could print the logo

the skills/tools i used in photoshop to make the breakdown of my favorite t-shirt were the text tool to write text the magic wand tool and eraser tool to remove the background i also used the transform tool to re-size and rotate the picture finally i used the shape tool to make the arrow

I chose this shirt because i think its cute
i like the simplicity of it i also like the simple colours it uses.

this shirt would cost around £20 including postage if you bought it off the website www.threadless.com
i think this is a good price as it would be around that price if you bought it in-store



i chose this shirt because i think its eye catching and interesting
i like the colours and the design of it
this shirt should cost around £20 including postage if you bought it from the site www.designbyhumans.com
i think this is reasonable as you would get it from around the same price in a store

i prefer the first shirt as its cute and fun

The history of the t-shirt

t-shirts were created in the early 19th century by the army to use as underwear. Stars like James Dean then made the popular by wearing them as a shirt.
Different types of t-shirts then came into fashion for example, v necks and tank tops during the 80s and 90s t-shirts became popular as advertising for things such as bands for example rolling stones and Frankie goes to Hollywood
t-shirts now-a-days t-shirts have become a household product
you can also use t-shirts in campaigning to get your message across to the public.
