In the poetry course we learned about love poems and praise poems, the rondelle, rondelet, and ghazal.
For the second part of the short story course we were supposed to bring something ready to edit. I didn't have anything so gave it a miss and went looking for the Hayes escape tunnel instead. The conference centre was taken over to house prisoners of war, including "The One That Got Away".
The evening speaker was Curtis Jobling, an animator and writer who has worked on Wallace and Gromit, designed Bob the Builder and invented Raa Raa the Noisy Lion. After introducing us to Curious Cow (a series of ten second shorts on Nickelodeon), he live-doodled a series of characters to demonstrate how figures from the same show are based on the same set of shapes, to give a unifying feel. He also kindly allowed the school to keep the doodles to auction off to raise funds, and signed them all.
