Work from MAP's recent exhibition at The Mill Arts Centre is now online. The images were created by young people in Bicester, using milk, ink vegetable oil and Photoshop.The exhibition was one of the most popular yet, maybe even too popular - three images stolen from the Mill during the exhibition... Bicester MAP artists Jake and Leona visit the Mill to see their work

This is a singing artist. His name is Imran Khan. He does bhangra music. His latest song is 'Amplifier' . I looked for his lyrics and pictures on the internet. Then I took a picture outside of a car then I pasted the picture on a blank document. I edited the pictures and filtered them. Then I added my text.

I started by looking at his pictures, new video and lyrics. I then copied them to word and printed them. Secondly I went out side and took some pictures of trees, railings and the blue sky. I then put them on the computer from the camera, and up loaded them to photoshop. I started doing my design and combined all three pictures together and changed the colours.

Today at MAP I started a new animation project. I decided to experiment with stop motion animation; to make a chair spin around. Instead of using the computer to take photos, I decided to take pics of the chair in different positions, print them off, and then photocopy them; to give the photos a more animated effect... I then cut out the photocopies and took pictures of them, in order, on the

The main inspirations for this mask were native american totem poles, and the paintings of pablo picasso. Picasso's deformed style of art is represented primerily in the the asymetrical nature of the eyes, and I used several totem poles as colour guides. If I could change one thing about the mask, then I would strengthen the native american connections by giving it a hocked nose, which was used

Two young people at MAP Banbury - both DJs - have been working hard to organise an under-18s club night at The Mill. The hard work paid off and more than 60 young people attended the event. The DJs and crowd were great and not even a brief power failure killed the atmosphere. Thanks to all staff - The Mill, MAP and Youth Service - and young people who supported the event.

All we need now is some music!Luckily Cassi brought her guitar in and taught us how to play Glow by Alien Ant farm (so we all had a nice sing along).Speaking of aliens. . . . . . . . here's more of the animation, this time on an alien Planet.

The exhibition was a great opportunity to show animations and films made by the students at MAP. Visitors also had the chance to watch the short made by young parents in Blackbird Leys called 'If you were me.' The film featured on the BBC website recently and won a local filmakers competition organized by OFVM. It was also screened on Channel Six.

A a bit of Pat Winslow style poetry here by the Students at MAP. With illustrations inspired by it. The first one is by Esme and Marianna. The PoemI left a suitcase in a house, on the moon.Dust from our bedroon grasped my sister's eyes.I stood chest-high beside a cardboard spacesuit.If he was looking over sleeping boots there mother would arrive in a parachute. I remember that I cannot shrink

When Katy was only a small child she met David Bowie. But so much fonder is her memory of meeting snake man and Legend Mark O'Shea (she wore an Aconda like a scarf).Bea claims that she met Elvis. She says he was fun, that they went to Ireland and did an Irish Jig......hmmmmmm(not sure about that).Ezme's Gran and Grandad sold their house in Rye (near Brighton) to Vic Reeves (however he has since
