We worked with the group members to
take photographs in Revoe of all the things that represented the area for them.
The group that came out to take the photographs mainly comprised of children
aged 6 years to 10 years old. They took the pictures and the artists used the
resulting photographs to create a collage celebrating the Revoe area.
Disposable cameras were used for the project, replicating an old
fashioned/dated way of taking photographs. Snap shots in time were taken of
places the children had memories of including the library, their primary
school, the park, shops and for some their own houses. The artists took as
their inspiration the style of traditional post cards of Blackpool creating
images as if reflecting memories over time. Some members of the Arts and Crafts
group also wrote down their memories of places in Revoe and these features in
the window.

On workshop three,
The plan was to be more flexible with the plan due last week
it did not go the way we planned. The
mean point of the workshop was, we wanted the children to look at the photographs
they had produced from last workshop. We got each child to pick their top five photographs
they would like to see in shop window. We ask why like them and how they though
photographs turn out. We ask older
members of the group to write a memoires about the Reveo, whilst the children
draw picture from memoires of the area. The idea using collage of images and photographs
to display in the window shop.
