Hi my name is Katie Watson and i have been working for the last 3 weeks on my arts award at the Chorley community center.
My aim was to concentrate on art and music as these are my favourite subjects.
Week:1 I researched the the two art styles that i enjoy the most , Gothic Art and Tattoo Art
Myself and my adviser Jon-lee Martin used the internet to research these art forms and then had a go at replicating them ourselves.
Week:2 Jon noticed that a lot of my favourite pass times were connected to music and so we both decided that we should include this in my arts award work.
The center where we work has a recording studio and i decided i would like to record a song.
I had never recorded my self singing before but was encouraged by Jon and so along with the engineer Joe i performed and recorded "six feet under the stars" by one of my favourite bands "all time low"
Week:3 I thought of a perfect way to connect my two chosen arts.
Since i had recorded a song and burned it to a cd i decided that i would like to produce a cover for the cd , incorporating my chosen visual arts.
Using graffiti walls and spider diagrams we began to plan out my cd cover.
