The Lost Suitcase by Art Lab https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u An art adventure for curious minds! en-us 2022-01-16 15:13:39 UTC 2025-11-10 17:29:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/1338016814/9c62a713eea6ee2a59d290c498b0ff44/Untitled_1_copry.png artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994365894 An art adventure! The schools will receive a 'lost' suitcase. These will be brought with them on the day. Each case contains objects from a persons life. In school, the class will become investigators from: The ArtLab Bureau of Missing Artistic Individuals (ABMAI)!]]> 2022-01-16 15:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994365894 We start by sending a 'Lost' suitcase to each participating school. This allows for blended learning between the school, online and in person at the department. A series of art challenges and activities will 'unpack' the contents of the case (How 2 Lab) and create work that the students will bring with them. This flipped learning means that they will arrive at the art department with some content and ideas. themselves. artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994368284 2022-01-16 15:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994368284 During the onsite sessions we would document and 'flesh out' the owners of the suitcases through a number of tech-art experiences in smaller groups (five groups of 6?) These sessions can culminate in a performance (readings). artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994396223

We could prepare this on a corridor wall and even create a rolling piece on a frame (easier to set up) that can be wheeled into ArtLab everyday if necessary. 
The audio can be made during the training sessions with our students (I can steer these when I am in?) and played through the headsets.]]> 2022-01-16 16:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994443835 artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994463569 2) Watching - Students will have made 'Environscopes' in class that they bring with them on the day (these are binocular style kaleidoscopes). These are used to create field sketches in the woods (if fine weather) or around the department if raining)
We can use boards and paper - maybe wax resist or water colours. A lot of the kids will not have vast experience of different media. These Environscopes could also be used to view artwork or projection pieces the our students have made? 
Also, if you were thinking about the silver ball again, they could draw themselves whilst wearing them!]]> 2022-01-16 16:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994463569 artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994477902
3. Touch - Playdoh or clay creations that students can 3D scan and manipulate on the ipads (similar to fieldwork sessions).
These objects are generated through their work in class around the owner of the suitcase.
This will have the 3d printer in the space and projections of the fieldwork sessions we have done to contextualise the Qlone app etc]]> 2022-01-16 16:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994477902 artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994480532 4) Smell - students use smell (bought and assembled smell containers - speak to Kate about Sensory Objects Boxes?)
These would inspire Haiku text poems that can be put together as large scale placards using laser cut alphabet stencils and paint/thick felt pens (a bit like the POWER PLACARDS from Tate Exchange) Great photo opportunity!
Brings in literacy and text/spoken word art]]> 2022-01-16 16:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994480532 artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994491932 We can do some great Vox Pops with our Co-research students at uni
We can also get the school students to respond to this by sending their own audio and visual which could be incorporated on the visit days somehow.]]> 2022-01-16 17:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994491932 artlabuor https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994516297 5) Speaking - Students make cardboard megaphones which they can use when performing the text (haiku poems) pieces as well as consolidating the days activities. We can fill out questionnaires at this point and also introduce the 360 degree alternative class photo whilst students wear their Environscopes!, hold their placards and chant using the megaphones!!!!!]]> 2022-01-16 17:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/artlabuor/dzlf6gxpq1wyah8u/wish/1994516297
