  • Evaluation

    Haiaa it’s Becca here…
    I know this is a bit weird that it’s me sending this to you all, but I’m doing work experience in the gallery for a week and Amanda has given me this task of sending out an evaluation sheet/questionnaire, thing, for you to fill in…and making sure I get answers from you all! XD Mwahahaaaa!!! >:]
    O.k. so here’s the deal…you write your answers on here and e-mail (or post or whatever) them back to the gallery…and I will spare you! XD
    There is no limit in how much you write…but you’ve got to actually say something! XD

    1) What were your favorite parts, or did you enjoy the whole thing or what?
    You are not allowed to say that you did not enjoy it…because that would be lying! >:]
    I’ll help you by putting little ticky boxy things here! …but make sure that you write soething aswel! XD

    Wolverhampton (1) [ ]
    Cardiff [ ]
    The actual sessions [ ]
    Installation [ ]
    Wolverhampton (2) [ ]
    Coke and Crisps* [ ]
    Working with Rabab [ ]
    Working with Sean [ ]
    Working with Matthew [ ]
    Working with Anthony Shapland [ ] (the writing dude)

    *if you have ticked this box then you have to tick another one…I know what you’re like! >:]

    2) Were there any downsides? ☹ If there were…please explain…unless it’s self explanitary…and then it would be obvious…well, yeah…
    (Even things like the fact that we couldn’t have some of the artworks will be o.k. here!)

    3) If you were at the beginning of the project and had the choice of at what time and how long the sessions were then what would you choose?
    Don’t be silly and say a time when we’re still in school…that would just be really…very…silly…

    ___:___ pm for __. __ hours __________________________________
     _________

    Now this one’s going to be really hard for you non-welsh speakers to answer! XD
    4) Would you prefer if the sessions were bilingual?
    Told you! XD

    Yes [ ] No [ ] Don’t mind either way! [ ]

    5) Do you think it matters what time of year the exhibition is displayed?
    If you do (you fussy little *@$%$%^&) then would you tick which season below…and care to explain why you think this on the carefully aligned…lines…XD

    Winter [ ] Spring [ ] Summer [ ] Autumn [ ] Not bothered [ ]

    6) SESSIONS!!!
    …what I’m trying to ask is how many sessions did you think were manageable? Did you find it hard when we had a session every week…was having a session once every two weeks too little…did we need more sessions…ASWER!!!

    1 per week [ ] 1 every other week [ ] Depends on deadlines [ ]

    Other_____________________________

    Hey we’re getting near to the end! HALELUJAH!!! XD

    7) O.k. so is your understanding of galleries and art in general expanded?
    …or has it been completely blown to bits, and you don’t know where you’re coming or going! XD

    Oh yes! [ ] Sort of [ ] not really [ ]

    __________________________________
     _________________________________







    Last but not least…WOOP!!!
    8) How will you use and abuse Young Curators in the future?
    …well not as much the abuse bit…but yeah! XD
    (e.g. C.V.)

  • The Rabab thing

    Fe wnaethom ni gomisiynnu Rabab i greu darn o waith fyddai’n cysylltu â’n themâu dewisiedig ni. Felly i’w help i ddeall y gwaith ‘da ni ‘di bod yn wneud ac i weld gwrthdaro drwy ein llygaid ni, mi ddaeth hi i ymweld â ni ar gyfer sesiwn.
    Ar ôl ‘chydig mi wnaethom ni cytuno i’n cael ein tapio... doedd o ddim yn ddrwg i fod yn onest!!! Ac felly roedd y tâp yn llawn o’r Cymru’n cwyno am y Saeson ac o grensian creision!!! XDXDXD Roedd Rabab ‘di ‘sgwennu rhestr o eiriau allweddol roedden ni ‘di ddefnyddio yn ein copi a ddefnyddiodd hi honna fel sylfaen i’n sgwrs...fach...anorffenedig! XD
    Roedd Rabab yn gobeithio dylunio darn o waith destun i’r arddangosfa...roedd hi’n meddwl am y syniad “it’s not me it’s my violence” roedd hi hefyd yn meddwl am ddefnyddio ‘chydig o ddarnau o ddywediadau diddorol oddi ar y tâp a’r papur brown ar y wal, a’u rhoi ar y waliau!


    That's the Welsh copy :/
    sorry the English copy's in school x_x
