Sophie Trouse Silver Arts Award

Today we discussed how I will go about obtaining my silver arts award, through a combination of visual arts, and organising a multimedia event to raise awareness of mental health. Although this is relatively early on in my current project, I aim to improve my photography especially on the topic of urban decay and dereliction. I find that 28dayslater is a very useful website/forum to exhibit photography and comment on others images. I am planning to upload a report of my own photos to this site.

To do this I need to consider

• the legalities - I have to think about whether my entry to such places is lawful. If I decide it is verging on illegal, that building is out of the question, for example any forced entry is illegal.
  
• equipment needed
• time management
• proximity/transport
• research possible buildings locally
  

Last month, I attended MCM Expo which is a comic and anime convention in London where i saw other artists work, which gave me insight into alternative drawing styles, for example 'chibifying' characters to convey emotion at particular moments in a story.

John Conrad's Silver Arts Award

Hello and welcome to my quest to obtain the Silver Arts Awards. I recently achieved my Bronze Award and as so I could start working towards the Silver.

17/11/10

For my Silver Award I will be putting together a portfolio of my achievements and how I plan to improve my skills of photography and filming. While I am putting my portfolio together, I shall be working on my skills to display the effects of mental health which will be used in an up-coming event. I will be mainly focusing on the mental health of someone who has depersonalization, derealization, ADHD and asperger's disorder.

24/11/10

The way I will display this is by creating a person with these problems and be interviewed, asking how the mental disorders affect the every day to day activies and lifestyle. I will also be asking how the person deals with the disorders and if they are getting any help from a mental health team in the local area.

1/12/10

I've started to write out the questions that will be asked during the interview and the decided who will be taking certain roles during the project. I plan to do the whole filming project as a workshop that will hopefully give the crew the needed skills for future projects.
I'm now gathering images and taking my own pictures to which I will edit to display a different kind of world which will show what some people with mental health disorders see or feel in normal public areas. I will be using photoshop elements for the of the editing process and try and create the atmosphere I'm after.


6/12/10

After much searching I have found 10 images that I feel would be suitable, after editing, for the iMind event. The images I was focusing on were to do with multi-personality disorder and derealisation and displaying some images with the person on one side and a demonic form of the person on the other. The idea of the demonic form of the person is displaying their other personality(s) as their demon(s) that they cannot escape. Some of the derealistation will be displaying streets or rooms and then have a picture were it could be see through someone elses eyes, such as being a clear day walking down a street on the first picture and then on the second would be foggy or rain. The rain can be linked to depression.













Review: Biffy Clyro - God & Satan

Here are three comments I found from from the video's location and I believed they raised some really good important points:

Can you lot please shut up. Here is not the place to be debating the pros and cons of Christianity. Just enjoy the song and stop insulting what some people believe in.

i'd say it was about paganism tbh, or being uncertian about your religion and maybe doubting God. "i know for sure that someone is watching but is it from up or down?"

Displaying both uncertiantanty and possibly pagamism.

the song is about being in a mental state! no religion!!

Lyrics:

I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan 'cause I want to hear both sides

Does that make me cynical

There are no miracles

And this is no miraculous life



I savour hate as much as I crave love because

I'm just a twisted guy

Is this the pinnacle, is this the pinnacle, the pinnacle of being alive

Now I see the light



Well I look up to god but I see trouble 'cause this aint a miracle

I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle



Ooah

Ooah



I know for certain that some one is watching but is it from up or down

I make you miserable you stick with me although

you know I'm gonna ruin your life



I talk to God as much as i talk to Satan 'cause I want to hear both sides

Does that make me cynical

There are no miracles

And this is no miraculous life



We walk into the tide



Well I look up to god but I see trouble 'cause this ain't no miracle

I just want to take my chance to live through a miracle



When the see-saw snaps and splinters your hand don't come crying to me

I'll only see your good side

And believe it's a miracle

A miracle



I slap the water and watch

The fish dance in the ripples of us

We're just stubborn duds

Blinking eyes encased in rust



This aint a miracle

This aint a miracle

This aint a miracle

This aint a miracle



Ooah

Ooah

CRAIG KEMP: ARTS AWARD evidence

Hi my names Craig Kemp and I started to come to Media Hub to learn about different types of media. I decided to stick around and have learned many things from being here....


My Arts Activity:
I enjoy watching anime films and drawing anime characters. For my Arts Award I attended some film production and editing workshops and set out to create an anime music video of my own. I used iMovie on the Macs at Media Hub and edited images to a music track.

My finished film is showing on Youtube and a HubClub DVD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dOMZSzjUXY

Workshops

technical
- choose footage from anime episodes to edit together onto music track
-load music track into imovie
-download episodes
-upload clips into imovie
-finely edit clips to music beats

Creative
I considered:
-speed of images linking to speed changes of music
-speed and furiousity and type of music relating to anime
-heavy rock with fast paced riffs, slow guitar solos using distorted guitar effects, rock drumming and lyrics about heroism and combat

Knowledge
combined cultures - I have combined Japanese animation with European rock music. There is a big rock following in Japan called j-rock but i felt that this did not fit in with the anime as it is quite bouncy and lyrically not so appropriate




B-Going to an arts event

Between The Cracks-a theatre production touring at Haverhill Arts Centre
May 2010


This is the flyer for the event





This is our interview held at the Hubclub to review and share the production. We added this to the website CB9mediahub.org.uk. which is used to promote Haverhill Arts Centre's youth media project.

I thought the production was very good at portraying someone with borderline personality disorder. I think that it is important to raise awareness about mental health and this is a good way to inform people about what the disorder can be like. The message came across well and I would recommend anyone to go and see this production.

Part c-My hero is Masashi Kishimoto. He started drawing basic anime at aged 14. He eventually developed it into a manga book series. A few years later he sold it to Shonen Jump a japenese film company who also produce Bleach and Death Note. His first anime was released and it a huge success in Japan. For my research please check youtube link below.

part - d arts apprenticeship
For my arts apprebticeship I decided to show the CB9 Media group how to draw an anime eye with the wacon pen on Gimp software.
I wanted to share this skill with the group because there are alot of people here interested in anime and manga.
The workshop included
-showing different tools how to draw outlines
-add colour
-erase colour and lines
-save the image
We only have one wacom pad and pen here so we had to share a computer. I demonstrated first with a drwaing of an eye. Then each person had a go.

The feedback I got was positive. "inventive" "interesting" Insightful"!
I think I would do the workshop like this again and it would be great to do at an event if we were promoting the CB9 Hubclub as it is simple but effective.
Here is an example of an anime eye from the workshop


My final thoughts 'bout the arts award

craig kemp bronze arts award

masashi kishimoto

their career path started drawing basic anime at the age of fourteen and eventualy developed it into a manga book series and a few years later sold it to be turned into an anime series

his art work is very inflentual and cross cultualy significent

what influence they have on me his art work has influenced me to start drawing anime myself
