Short Skills Throwies

The brief we have been set is to create and use Throwies. These are small LED lights attached to a battery and taped to a magnet.the purpose of the throwies is to create pretty non-perminant graffiti.
I quite like the idea of throwies, I dont like graffiti when itis used as graffiti and not art. when it is used as art I it can be verry astheticaly pleasing, and it can transform something dull into a someting great to look at. So the idea of temporary graffiti is appealing to me, and many othre people i am sure, to create art, then take it off if its crap, then create another one. To me its great. Also it means that you can edit your design, take it off, start again, and it doesnt cost. Which is good, as i am Skint.

The website that will tell you how to make these ginius little lights.

I have been thinking about some locations to hold an event where, we can show off these magical little creations but also have the chance to create flat pieces of work or mabe even animation / moving image pieces.
These Locations Include:
The Mead
