Well, the winner was me.........yes ME ! oh, and 23 other people. However double that applied for this bursary from Creative Leicestershire so I did really well. The bursary is for equipment that will enable me to further interest in the moving image, either on a documentary/short film level or animation. I spent almost all of it last weekend on a new MAC and a camcorder. I know the quality wont be strictly professional but its a start and who knows where it might lead? Im chuffed anyway. Only a couple of people knew about this as I wanted to keep it quiet until it was actually in my hands. It makes you feel good, doesnt it?
On another matter arty, today I commenced my second week as arts leader at Rawlings Community College summer art camp. Very tiring, but very rewarding too. Its comfirmed that young children seem to like me and respond to me. Today we looked at the work of Quinton Blake and based the days art around his style. I think tomorrow its Picasso day.
The arts career is slowly happening and it feels good.
At Knighton Lane Artists Group some people have applied to fill the new spaces that will be created after the build. Two of them come from my course at DMU, Maggie and Hamish !!! Who would have thought? I dont know if they are going to be offered spaces or not as its a democratic process, but it would be nice. Almost be like being back at DMU again !
Am working on ideas for Richard Attenborough Centre exhibition in March. Oh, and KLA are having their (our ) annual tea party early November. Of course all are invited. I will remind you nearer the time. If you are in town, do try to come.
OK, thats that then. Need to go practice on the Mac editing software..........
remember folks; Love All, Hurt None, tell the Universe your heartfelt wants and give thanks when you receive them, its the only religion you really need.
