Sophie Munro Arts Award.

Sophie Munro's Arts Award

Hello I am Sophie Munro. I came to media hub to learn new skills.
This blog is about my Bronze Arts Award. I have to take four parts; A B C and D.

A- Taking part in an arts activity.

For this I wanted to learn how to use photo shop. here is a screen shot of me explaining how I managed to edit this masterpeice in photoshop.


Part B- going to an arts event

The Burton Center held the U Event, the event I attended. There was Free running, break dancing, a video workshop, interactive dance, the pamper zone, Five-a-side world cup football, and MC'ing
Despite the horrible weather most of the preformances continued including the breakdanceing and MC'ing from Simbad Fresh from Cambridge. I did get a chance to see most of these activites and enjoyed the breakdancing the most. It was nice to see a group of dances with a variation of age and gender.
Here is the media crew back at base. I am sharing my reveiw about the U festival. I am projecting photographs that were taken of the activities and chatting about the day. The media hub crew from the left Andrew, Me, Craig, and Dan

Im currently reading one of her best works of art, a manga called Vampire knight. Her other successful manga merupuri has a cute and lovely plot, so vampire knight was her first serious manga. Her manga vampire knight was so successful that it was turned into an Anime.

I Recemend you look up Vampire Knight on Youtube, and Meripuri in MangaFox.com

I Enjoy reading both manga and watching Animes. Though I havent read muripuri from first impresstions I think it looks like a good manga. I have the first two manga's in watched the vampire knight anime series and have watched all of season 1 (aswell as some of season 2) and personaly think that Matsuri Hino is a pure genius, her story lines and skill in drawing the characters amazes me. She is a very skilled Mangaka which is why she is my Heroine

This is a picture edited by julian salmon who attended my workshop. He was not used to using photo shop but this is what he managed to do.

I wanted to make a simple edit using two images, one of a recent photo and one of an image from photo shop. my original idea was cutting out faces from recent photos and placing them into the center of flowers but after thinking long and hard about what i should do i fianlly decided to let my students in my workshop to choose an animal of flower which they thought they looked most like befor letting them edit either there face or there eyes onto there chosen photo. This was particulaly difficult in the sence that i was finding it difficult to use this curtain verion of photoshop but i quickly over came this problem and made a perfect edit myself while showing my students how to use the programe aswell.

Here is me (left) explaining something to Julian at my workshop
