David talks about Easter

4/10/2017

Palm Sunday is before Easter. In the Catholic Church, the priest sprinkles palm crosses with Holy water and blesses them. He then gives them to the congregation. On Palm Sunday Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem. Lots of people were waving palm branches to greet him. The crowds were shouting Hosanna in the Highest.
​
Lots of people think Easter is about Easter Bunnies or even hot cross buns but it is really about remembering that Jesus died on the cross. Easter is about the blood of Christ and the body of Christ.  Pontius Pilate asked Jesus ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’. Jesus was put in a tomb after being on the cross. After three days he rose from the dead. He showed his hands to Thomas and he touched them. Jesus asked if he recognised him.

At Easter my sister and my father and I are going to go to Church. We have a roast dinner which Carol cooks and sometimes I help. We have roast.

We are really pleased to announce that the Art Talk Plus group has recently been awarded a grant by the Winchester City Council Forum.

Art Talk Plus was created to help publicise the work of the artists in Art Talk through writing about what they do by creating flyers and information for their exhibitions and workshops. The group allows people to develop computer skills in a relaxed and safe environment where the members can use laptops and tablets. The members also update our website with news of our activities and other interesting stories. We've recently introduced a tablet and the members have really enjoyed creating computer art and also using the camera photograph their work. You can see some of their work at www.art-talk.uk

The grant from Winchester City Council will allow us to buy another laptop and a tablet so that more people can gain experience of using computers and help to build their skills and confidence.

A day at the Science centre. 

3/28/2017

0 Comments

 
The 15th of March, Art talk went on a trip to the science center. This was a huge success and the agreement through the whole group was that it was a really good day and it was nice to hang out all together. Although everyone had different favourites out of the activities, the agreement in the group was that the only slightly negative thing about the expedition was that since there was so many people, there was a bit of noice as well.
 Jo St said that her favourite part was that she got to hang out with all the people from art talk, and the mirrors that are downstairs. 
James wrote "I liked being with the art Talk group and seing all the wonderful things, I enjoyed lunch at the cafe and buying things at the gift shop."
Jo's favourite part of the science center was the stomach tube intestines.
Dan really enjoyed the part where he put his hands and head into a space suit to try to move his hands and then see how difficult it was to move in a spacesuit.  
Tereasa really enjoyed the film they watched about life under the sea. 
David liked looking at the space station, the TARDIS from Doctor Who, and using google earth. 
In the science center there is this station where two people sit on opposite sides of a table, with a little ball in between them. They both put on a gadget on their head to measure the alphawaves in their brains, and then they are supposed to relax to get the ball to move to the opposite side. Dan and Chris had a go, where Dan won, and Mike and James had a go where James won. This was quite a difficult activity, since the more you focus on relaxing, the more you won and the more you don't relax the more you lose.

All in all, everyone agreed that they had a really funday, both at the science centre itself and enjoying their lunch together in the cafeteria. Another successful trip with the Art Talk group. :)

Feedback from the people who came to our workshop
I have enjoyed meeting  new people and finding out the work that they do.
There is a really nice atmosphere  within  the group. and it is clear how much enjoyment everyone gets from it.  I learnt a new art in mixing oil pastel with water colour
I've enjoyed meeting everyone again today and spending time creating and chatting. I've learnt some good painting techniques.
I enjoyed today and talking to the members.. It's really nice to see how passionate they are about their work
It was good the way the tables were set up to involve everyone and come together to talk and share work.
It was lovely to see how enthusiastic all of the members were and proud of their work and what they've achieved.
It was amazing to see how the colours work together and see the group enjoying and see how they do it. I enjoyed being here with the group and learning stuff about art. Amazing

On January 24th Art Talk Plus moved to a bigger room at St Baranbas. The extra space means that we have more space, which will allow us try different ways to show what Art Talk does. Thank you St Barnabas!

We were able to try using a Tablet for the first time, both to do computer art and also take photographs of paintings
David says: We are doing pictures, doing things that are watery, first drawing with oil pastels. They are like crayons. Then we spray the pictures using a water sprayer to make them wet. Then I splashed paint on with a paint brush. I did two pictures; one of December and then another with trees and watery and paint and mixed the colours.
Today I also used a tablet to do some drawings. I drew with different colours. I drew patterns and a shamrock.
I really was concentrating. I enjoyed doing it.
Teresa says: Today I made a butterfly. First of all I drew it with pastels, which is like chalk. Then I sprayed it with water. After that I put paint on it.The paint ran and the colours mixed together. I had fun doing it
