The After School Club want a phase two to their building make over. I think it will have to become slightly environmental!
They have already got the money!
I watched Avitar the other day for the first time. Its marvelous, and uses the plight of the ‘red indian’ as a plot line. What I thought very interesting is that this is the second childrens film I can think of (Robots was the first) where technology and progress are the bad guys and get smashed up. The old ways are triumphant. Will the writers of Avitar 2 invent a new outcome for the indigenous race who won the battle of the Little Big Horn but lost the overall war.
Back to community arts then: and different people are asking me to be involved on a number of things, early days and nothing concrete. It is encouraging that people take an interest in what I have done and want to colaborate.
I have worked with Animate Arts http://www.animatecommunityarts.com/index.html on several projects over the years and I displayed snippets of my ‘Walking with Cosmo’ Blog as part of a group show with other members of this group in Whitstable. I got an email from a labradoodle called Tatty. As it turns out Tattys Mum is part of an organisation I would like to become part of www.workers-of-art.co.uk they wanted to include me in a stable of artists working on comminity projects. I also have a meeting next week with the Kent Wildlife Trust?….this is make it your own type of opportunity and Carol Ramseys Butterfly Park must serve as a model for this kind of thing.
I also entered for Art Cars? the type of opportunity I would not normally go for, but I shelled out less than £10 for a model car painted and assembled it and submitted it? I dont know who to or what exactly for but I had great fun making it and thought models (not kits) of any kind an interesting development for me. Something I need to find time to explore.
