Today the team was given an hour and a half to explore the National Media Museum in Bradford before an animation workshop. Jena and I went to every single floor and every single exhibit. We really liked the photography exhibit called We England; especially the photo from 1840 that needed to be covered by a curtain to protect it from fading.

I read an interesting statistic in the TV exhibit that said people will spend an average of nine years of thier lives watching TV,  and I’ve decided to stop watching TV.

I think media plays an important role in shaping the way young people interact and see the world, so I’m very happy it has been a reoccurring topic at Offscreen.

HIiiiiii

I woke up this morning feeling good cause i knew that we are going to the national media museum …

When i was there i saw lots of paintings and i really loved them especially two of them, then we went to the national media museum where we had the chance to do our own animation film and i did a really cool air guitar playing moves….

After a day at the National Media Museum, the girls play shadow puppets.

We join the team at the National Media Museum in Bradford, where they work with students from local colleges. The team are asked to investigate the theme of faith and identity.

During the day they will learn how to use animation to explore this complex issue and shed new light on this theme. Learn how animation can be used to address difficult topics. Will our team be the animators of the future and how different will their ideas about faith be from people living in Britain?

Today we took a walk up to Malham Tarn, and it lasted about three hours. It was such a physical and mental challenge, but one well worth taking on. Once we arrived at Malham we took about an hour to sit at the lake and reflect on what we have learned from the trip so far. We were asked to write down one pledge we plan to make as a result of this trip, mine was to be more positive regarding my ability to create change in the world. Hopefully I will be able to stick to my pledge like I stuck to the trail and finished our little walk today.
