In Review (end of my award)

Today is the last day of my arts award and i have enjoyed every moment of it!

Review:

Arts Activity:

My Activity was to learn and record a composition by my arts idol (Alex Gaskarth)

I then chose to design and produce a cd cover to go with the recording , incorporating and drawing from other art idols including gothic graphic artist Victoria Frances.

Arts Event:

I was able to attend a concert by the gothic metal band Ravenface my review is stored here on my blog page.

Arts Hero:

I studied Alex Gaskarth by researching on-line and producing spider diagrams

to gather an understanding of him as a person , i also studied his lyrics and learned them in order to perform and record a version myself .

I also researched my favourite graphic designer Victoria Frances to draw influence for the cd cover.

Arts Apprenticeship:

I got to work with professional graphic designer Jon-lee Martin to create my cd cover.

I was set tasks to come up with a concept and art direction for the piece which i have stored in my AA file.

I then got to use the digital editing programme Photoshop with an apple mac computer , with guidance and training from Jon in order to finish the final piece.

Review:

I have learned a great deal from my experience taking part in an arts award and have been reassured of my natural talent as a young budding artist.

I have been frustrated with art in school as i felt unable to include my personal tastes and styles but the arts award experience has given me my confidence back.

I hope i can continue with arts awards in the future.
