Details

The workshop will document the expressions of children's and young adult's visual and aural findings through an online image and sound gallery. The workshop will have a strong focus on experiential learning, with a level of assured guidance.

Project Scope: Vision, Aim, & Objectives

Why this project is being done:
The ALL Audio/Visual is an amalgamation of visual and aural awareness for children and young adults within our local community. First and foremost, the goal of this workshop is to develop children's and young adult's visual and aural awareness.
Who or what this project would impact:
Students & youth in the 7th and 9th Ward. We hope to expand to offer our services throughout the city. We will ultimately offer these services at a central location in the city yet to be determined.
Project intends to address:
Students throughout the community need to express their story. We give them a multimedia opportunity to do just that. Their collective voices will also foster creative connection between communities via the sharing of stories in each neighborhood.

Project Timeline

This is an ongoing project that will develop as we move forward.

Laura Bergerol, Brian Kline, The Porch (July 2009), students at Blair Grocery (summer 2009), the Studios at Colton (through July 31, 2009). Bergeron Studios on Magazine St have graced us with generous donations thus far.
Plan for implementing this project:
We will begin work this summer with the Porch of the 7th Ward and the Blair Grocery of the Lower 9th. We will have two shows of students work- one in late July and another during Labor Day.

35 mm film SLRs, 35 mm Fuji film 200 & 400 ISO, Epson film scanner, Epson digital printer, film processing chemicals, film processing canisters, slide/computer projector, USB compatible hand held voice recorders, cassette tapes, CD-Rs.
Help needed from other people:
We are interested in teams that could help us with open source web building, building our student list or projects interested in documenting their own project via photography & sound.

That sounds great! Well, we really need to upgrade the education of our children through supplementing workshops that the school can't provide. We are responsible in that children gets the best education so that they can use it when they grow. In this fast changing world, we should make sure that our children can go with the it. Let us prepare them in facing the real world. The world of economic disturbance. The news today says that Economy won't be good in the next couple of months. Fact is, many companies are closing like Vibe magazine. With that, the burden is in the parents in proper rearing of the children. Remember! We should prepare them!
