Media Workshop 4 - Pix

Pretty much a full house today, and a full day too! About 30 dads, partners and children...

The fourth media workshop was originally planned as a day to make promotional postcards using photoshop. But plans change and the idea for a Dads Matter Too calendar emerged a couple of months ago, and won top place over the postcards...

One of the really great things about the extra media workshops overlapping with the film project has been having flexibility to follow what people are interested in, and their new ideas. So today we checked over the designs from the last workshop - for the CD and DVD covers and logos, and saw how it all fits together, along with the new music track, in the final edit of the film which we watched along with some of the extra material that will go on the DVD. Then it was plans for the people doing their bronze Arts Award - including a proposed visit to the Tate Modern, arts heroes and heroines - who inspires you and why? - and some more fantastic arts apprenticeship tasks.
Marcus gathered quotes from all the Dads, choices for fonts and colours, to go on the calendar. Terri calmly rose to the challenge of taking pictures of Dads and children on location at the park, and back at the Link Centre - with really stunning results! Well done everyone! We had time for a picnic in the park - part of Mike's money management course. And of course a bit of time to play! We had such a good day the last of us didnt leave til 6.30pm!!
