Looking forward to cracking on with the Monday group next week but in the meantime the joyously creative Tuesday class are now concentrating on the finishing of their storyboxes. The majority of pupils have produced brilliantly detailed boxes with one group making an actual book using an old Victorian bound volume. I'm focusing on detailed finishing using sewing and printed texts but the crucial stage is the selection addition of the key text to tell their stories. These storyboxes will  use essential parts of the story as 'teasers' for the whole tale, letting the veiwer go on a journey using their imagination. They are all beautifully dark and fairly gruesome but not overly worked in terms of wild slasher horror! (but there is blood..quite a lot...). Having mentioned music to them they are all desperate to work on various options of sound but as they were somewhat wayward this week I'm keeping that as a reward!...One group of boys have already written a rather good dark rap out of the sessions which they demo'd to me on Tueday...I'm focusing on handmade and reworked books with the Monday group and we'll be producing pages for those this week using variuos media and I shall be reading some stories to them as a calming antidote to making!...More bizarre items on this weeks shopping list...marvellous!....
