Speaker-Evaluation of what she said

Justine Kentan:

On the 22nd of october a female speaker came in where in which she works for Wandsworth art council.She talked about different types of festivals were the arts council put on different events,the aim of furzedown festival is to bring the community together.She explained that to put on a festival it involves a lot of paper work due to the fact that health and safety takes over a large part of the festival as the care for the public is extremely high.

Also after the festival there is also a lot of things that still need to be found out like;how the festival went,information of the ,monitoring of the festival.The use of promotion holds a very key part as the public need to be aware of the festivals taking place. Wandsworth arts council rely a lot of funding and donations from business and the public. Insurance also plays a big part within the festivals as you are reliable for any accidents which takes place within the festival.

Creativity Group-My ideas and group work

Group Ideas Lesson 1:

Today we into two different groups;Creativity group and a research group.I choose to work in the creativity group as i believe my talents lie in that.
The slogan that we decided was "Smart clothes for the future" showing that you can recycle old clothes and make new ones instead of relying on the shops to have what you want,and also the workers who produce them.
The logo was initially going to be each person from each group to decide there own idea for the logo and add them all-together to make one design.Then we decided that it would be too complicated and people wouldn't understand the logos interpretation.
Half way through the lesson people was not taking into consideration other peoples views and there was arguments so then we decided to split the group up into the different tasks that we have to complete and one did logos and the other did space plans.We then brought all our ideas together and see the whole groups views.

Comparisons between two festivals

Comparisons between:

Glastonbury Festival T in the Park '11



The two festivals I have chosen is the Glastonbury Festival (is in green) and the T in the park Festival (is in red) i have chosen allocated colours for each as I think that it would be easier to understand the difference between the two of the festivals.I have also added a colour to resemble both of the festivals which is blue.

The Glastonbury festival takes place on Wednesday the 22nd to the 29th of July 2011 this festival has taken place over a wide range of years.A unique feast of music set on a huge site offering a grand scale of entertainment unlike any other festival in the world. For five days the Pilton farm plays host to a tented city in Somerset. As well as music from nearly every genre imaginable on over 50 stages, there's performing arts with cabaret, theatre, circus, children's entertainment, poetry, healing, green crafts and information and much more. Vibrant, spontaneous, colourful, and hugely entertaining.Expect something like 2,000 performances at 50 or so venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic
Kids area, something will be replacing the departing Leftfield stage, poetry, green crafts and information and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music.Music on the main stages runs from around 11am each morning until 00:30 on the Friday and Saturday and midnight on the Sunday (longer stage runnin
g times than just about every other festival), with entertainment on some of the smaller stages running later (until 6am in Shangri-La).

The T in the park takes place from Friday 8th to Sunday the 10th.Offering a huge variety of music for 85,000 music fans across seven main stages with large camping areas, as well as other attractions, including a large funfair, comedy tent, silent disco, stalls, and food
a line-up of around 180 artists to pla
y over 11 stages.In 2011 is will be the 18th T in the park,which means that previously the festival has gone to plan and ended to be a great success.


Both of the festivals include camping out at the event to listen to the music form a range of artists and acts which will take place at the festival.The Glastonbury festival is £50.00 per ticked as you are hiring out the place were you are staying which makes the price much higher.Although T in the park tickets have not currently been announced but will be closer to the date of the festival.

This is the Glastonbury festivals Ethos.......


The Festival wants people to think about their journey to the Festival, to use public transport, or if coming by car to share transport with others. The Festival is committed to minimising the amount of waste, and managing the on site collection of that waste efficiently, 'reduce, reuse and recycle'.
Glastonbury Festival believes that work begins at home, at Worthy Farm. Looking after the fields, the hedges and the livestock has always been the Festival's number one concern, and it is what life is all about.
Festivals goers should think responsibly when they are packing their things to take to the Festival, and not bring items that will end up in Landfill, or that they won't want to take back home again, remember to "Limit what you bring, and clean up behind you."


The Glastonbury festivals target audience is aimed at couples and teen-age families meaning parents with teenagers although they do have a kids areas which will enable the parents to go out and enjoy them self.

I would say that the T in the parks target audience is young adults and older aged families as you go in camper-vans within a group of people.
The information below tells you what the details of bringing camper-vans are:
Each camper van ticket allows access to a pitch area of 7m x 7m. If more space is required another ticket for a second pitch must be purchased, camper van tickets must be bought in advance. The number of passengers must not exceed the camper van sleeping capacity.
There are expected to once again be coaches runn
ing to the festival from direct routes from locations across Scotland.
