Fitzwilliam/Contempory Art/ Kettles yard

I hadn't been to the Fitzwilliam for ages , so it was good to go again.I learned quite alot from the trip because I didn't normally look at the art gallery at the fitzwilliam, only just look at the objects . Also I have been to the contempory gallery , but havent really been interested in it , and i've never been to Kettles Yard before.

Fitzwilliam

We had to leave all our bags in a cloackroom so ..we didn't knock anything over... I thought we were going to look at the objects there aswell as the pictures/art , but we went straight to the paintings.I never thought that 'Jack The Ripper ' could have been a painter, and found it interesting, and we looked at things i wouldn't of looked at normally.

Contempory Art

We didn't stay there for long because no-one was into the art there.We got the information we needed and went out after about 15 minutes.

Kettles Yard

When we were walking up to Kettles yard it was raining, so we all got there wet.I had never been there , and looking round i thought the art was plain, black and white colours . The only colourful art was a projection on a wall. It was different to other galleries I have been to , because-the walls were low, the art was...plain-like . It was hard to find the gallery because none of us had been there , and there were no signs to it , it was hidden away.

The house was the best part, the ladies who owned the house were really welcoming .I liked that you could sit on the sofas and chairs , and sit and relax. Also all the art was different so, there was a lot to look at . I had never been there either , or knew it was there. It was good to visit the house, but probably wouldn't choose to go again.

'Kite' research/poster

I had to research a audio,advertising in Cambridge.

I found the business 'Kite' which is a recording studio based in Cambridge.

Cineworld

Alice In Wonderland

-Tim Burton

Last Weekend I saw Alice in Wonderland at the cinema.

story-

Alice is going to be married , but she doesn't feel ready.she follows a white Rabbit down a hole and lands in a place, between Wonderland, and the real world. As soon as she arrives in Wonderland everything is different since she was last there.Monsters, talking creatures, and a magical, but dark world. Wonderland isn't wonderful anymore, unless Alice changes it for good.

It was good because its a twist of the original Alice in Wonderland, it was magical and happy, and sweet.But Tim Burton made it Dark , with an evil Queen and monsters.Also because it's got lots of famous actors in it , which made it good, and Johnny Depp is a great actor.I would see it again.

I went to Cineworld ,Leisure park. I always go there because it's down the road from me.The prices are bit too high,more than £5 for a ticket to watch a film, should be cheaper, and food and drink should be cheaper. But even though its expensive, i still go there, because it's conveniant .

Its a good place to go too, because you dont have to go all the way to the Grafton to watch a film, and as well as Cineworld, there is TenPin and some restaurants . You could go and watch a film then go to Tenpin or eat out somewhere, or the other way round.Cineoworld is easy to get to becuase there is a bus stop right on the corner of the Leisure park, the train station is near by, and there is a car park.

Scene progress report

So far I have created a review on 'Boomslang' , which is on at The Junction. I chose to look into it because it is exclusive to The Junction. I was given a task to search for local bands,DJ's....in Cambridge. I have printed the review.

My group,Emma W and Carys, were given the task to look at the music,dance, and club scene in Cambridge.I chose Clubs , becuase i havent been to a club , and i have found out more about them.

I have looked at jobs available in the creative and media industry in Cambridge.To find out we went to The Junction, we were given a couple of sheets about different jobs and chose the one we thought sounds good. Even though our homework was to come up with 3 questions to ask, we didn't have time. However we got questioned ourselves .

I have been recording my research on 'Blogger' and in 'pages'.I like this unit because it's interesting to find out what there is in Cambridge, and you can find out about places you might of not known before.

Hawk figure

this is a sculpture of a Hawk

It is made from Fritware and StonePaste

It was made in Iran.

It was given/added to The Fitzwilliam Museum in 1967

(there isn't much information on this figure because the makers of it are unknown)

I chose this sculpture because it was interesting to look at, the different markings on the figure.Also because i like animal figures, and it caught-my-eye.

Junction 11th March

We all weren't sure what we were going to do in the lesson.

We were first told we were going to ask our 3 questions we came up with, but it changed, instead of us asking , they asked us.

We had to choose from 5 jobs-marketing officer,casual bar attendant, comedy/music programmer/organiser...

When we were told we were going to have a ' job interview' , we all didn't like the sound of it, because we weren't told we were going to do that, and didn't get what the point of it was...

I chose marketing officer because it sounded like a good job.

The interview was ok because we went in groups of 2 or 3 .

I didn't get to ask my question because they were asking us the questions
