Landmarks is our latest project. We like this theme because it helps us explore how landmarks have a different meaning to each one of us. Also, we will look at what influence historical monuments, people, buildings etc. have on our lives and the people around us. We want to explore How do political decisions made in London and Newcastle affect us? How do we recognise inner landmarks in the places we live? We are using video, photography and live performance as our artforms. We also like the idea of landmarks because we see Skimstone Arts and making art as a landmark in our lives and it makes us realise how fortunate we are.

We received an Arts Award Access Grant – THANK YOU ARTS AWARD.

About our research trip to London…

"I really enjoyed the day, we managed to get a lot of filming done and also photography and other inspirations for future projects. I have asked the other young artists what they thought of the day and they says they have inspiration. I have now got many ideas for my workshop about layering techniques for my Gold Arts Award" – Carlene

"The experience was so good that I have experienced the atmosphere of London for the first time and I would love to go again. The different landmarks were amazing and Big Ben was my favourite. I enjoyed photographing close ups of the hands using my zoom lens." – Chris C

"As an artist it was quiet packed and energetic and it also inspired me to do a lot of creative things, for example writing lyrics and the short film that I have been part of . My role today was acting for the short film." – Steven
