Thursday - Session 4

Hi Everyone,

Today's been a really good day for the Sonic Landscapes group and we've created loads of exciting and fun work.


We've asked everyone who's been here today to summarise what they've been up to:

David
Today I have been recording and editing sound for the calm emotion and sorted out some of the photos for the blog. My favourite part was editing the sound.

Matthew
I've enjoyed a lot of the activities that we've done so far. I think what I've enjoyed the most is making music on a program called Audacity.
We were recording a variety of different sounds, such as: dragging a mobile phone along a radiator, clapping our hands and hitting the table.
I also enjoyed doing the painting. I did one about "happiness" and on it I wrote the famous Ken Dodd quote "Happiness, the greatest gift that we possess".

Jemma
I have enjoyed many thing we have done. I think the thing I have enjoyed the most is painting the different emotions. I have made some interesting friendships.
We are having so much fun, this project has let us express ourselves in a way I think words can't. It has also given me the confidence to perform for other people and the confidence to believe in myself. Also to follow my dreams, and not give up and share my talent.

Caitlin
When i first ever visted Lanternhouse, I thought that I had fun and I met lots of new people.
The first day we played games to meet others, I really enjoyed meeting Nick, Claire, Shaun and Fern.
With Connexions I am visiting Lanternhouse. This week we have been experimenting with sound/audio and also photography. All the work we produce gets updated on to the Net, we post blogs and comment on the links.
I think going to Lanternhouse has been a blast but mostly I like creating audio with Fern and Nick, because there is so much you can do when you edit the sound and can also include background tunes.

Anthony
The best thing about today was that I was happy as my friend Kim gave me red, brown and purple sweets. I painted pictures about my emotions - the best thing I made was my cup out of clay.

Kim
I have been painting emotions: Sad, Happy, Love, Anger, Scared.
Everything was good but the best thing was when I made a smiley face out of clay.

Day Three - Painting

Today was a chance for us to express ourselves and for me to help other people with their creativity.

The best bit about today was the painting because I enjoyed it very much and I got to know people a little bit more.

Anthony

love, my faverate picture that i drawn was sad i drew a picture of a eye and i big tear i like it becouse the shading of the colours my idea oof doing it was a pencil line underneath the pastles

Different emotions

Today we split into 2 differnt groups. My group did painting, through this we have portrayed many different emotions. I really enjoyed this with Elisha, Lisa, Kim,Anthony,Caitlin,Kerry, Karen and Fern. As well as using the brushes- Fern allowed us to use our creative side of ourselves. We used our hands and splattering paint- you can do this by getting a dollop of bright coloured paint, hold the paint brush towards your paper and simply flick the paint across the page. Whilst we were doing this the other group were creating their own thing through different sounds.
I hope we can do this again as it was so much fun. But instead of emotions we could just express who we are through the paints we use.

happy,love,sad

We've ben taking photos at the Lanternhouse. I took this one in the garden, I think the warm greens and water drops portray a calm feeling.

Zoe

This picture represents happiness, because it is a really nice flower and the colour is amazing.

I took pictures of various things. Like happiness, sadness, and love.

Anthony

I think the Lanternhouse is pretty cool. I found these leaves in the rainy garden , the raindrops caught my eye. The image makes me feel calm

Elisha Tale.

I have been taking pictures of various things to show different emotions such as Love,Happiness and Sadness. I have taken a picture of bright flowers to represent love. For Sad i have taken a picture of a dead flower.

My Favourite picture is of a Ladybird on a my hand because it can represent love.
