Do you think it is all a bit insane? asked the artist, when reflecting on how it all came about to a very nice national innovation award fund manager called Gerry. Should the project have been more sensible was the question? Oh, no, was the reply, that would ruin it! Hmm, he said, it is very much about independent learning, but, lads... what exactly have you learnt? Quest 2, thinking of time out in the ancient landscape of Westbury said gaily... Well, we have learnt how to be really good sheep, as they scribbled out some sums in their journals of how to share between them the £1,000 awarded to tell the world about their tales.
Meanwhile, it was discussed how Quest 1 really did well at engaging folk from the community of Westbury, getting people involved in everyday routines to play.
In the fast and furious process of engaging in art, life and possibilities, we used all sorts of art making stuff, performance, community involvement, participative video (p.v. - very cool) etc, there was some element of worry about REAL education, (you know, the National Curriculum sort of stuff) but it has all come together in the space between these pages through the art of blogging. So, this participative blog (p.b) offers a place for us Questarians to explore experimental stuff, real and imagined, the actual and dreams of what is posssible. A vast amount of creative material has been produced, we needed more time to work on the ideas. For instance, Quest 1 team make two types of music tracks which explored pathos, sadness, and - this would be great worked up into an animation - for instance 'Not a Happy Bunny'. Meanwhile, the idea is to share the process, but how - perhaps find a place in Westbury town centre to make into an exhibition and share the story with everybody?
