Art Clast 4 – BBC News School Report – Music Special

Halloween Is Coming On

As a little Halloween treat, to get us all into the spirit of things, I have re-edited the original Halloween Special Art Clast episode to be a little speedier and more to the point. Have a watch and get inspired.

Art Clast 3 – Animation Special

 

The third and final episode of Art Clast for this term (2010-2011) has been uploaded to Youtube and iTunes. You can watch all three episodes and even subscribe if you like them. Below is the animation special, which I feel is by far the best episode yet. Great work from the Art Clast podcasters yet again.

BBC School Report Day

Well, it’s BBC School Report Day, the Art Clast podcast team created a report for the event, though they were let down by poor correspondence from the BBC and the linking and broadcast of the report was not completed. It’s such a pity, as the report is one of the few that would have focused on how young people perceive art and culture around them. You can watch the report on Youtube  below.

Art Clast 2 – Modern Art Special

The second episode of the Art Clast Podcast is finally complete. The podcast is actually the report made to take part in the BBC School Reports competition. The Art Clast team created a report on the arguments for and against contemporary art. You’ll agree that they’ve done a fantastic job. Alison B has spent a lot of time editing the images and information together and Louise W and Paul C have been wrecking their heads scripting and discussing points of views for the sections.

Comment below and let us know what you think…

Art Classroom Podcast: Art Clast Theme

The new podcast is slowly but surely coming together. I have just finished the theme music for the intro and had a little mess around with the introduction visuals. It’s not perfect, or even great, but it will be.

New Podcast Coming Soon

I have decided that it is now time to edge into the realm of podcasting with a regular audio or video podcast focusing on an element of art education, practice or news. The podcast will be hosted by various presenters, teachers and pupils and will most likely be a short, edited, varied, factual show.

I have made a call out for pupils and teachers, though if you are interested in participating, please get in touch. I would be really excited to receive your opinions, footage or input and would be so grateful for your collaboration.

I will pass on more news about it as I develop it, though for now, here’s why I came up with the name: ‘Art Clast’ will be the title of The Art Classroom’s podcast and will be hosted on iTunes and numerous other feed options. It is called ‘Art Clast’ for many reasons, firstly due to its nature, you will be ‘art classed’. It is also a class podcast and so the amalgamation of the words will help people get it out there quicker. Lastly and most interestingly, a ‘Clast’ is a piece or fragment from a larger rock, in the same way that the podcast is a small fragment from the larger blog. Clever huh?

Keep tuned for details.
