Unit 1, Assignment 1.1, Part B
4) Ask a friend to write an article review on their view and progress of your arts challenge.
Tracy has gotten off to a great start with planning and brainstorming her ideas for the challenge. Although the pressure is growing she has handled it really well. Also from her action plan she has already started on week one which has furthered her ideas which she will hopefully put into practice in the following weeks. My view on Tracy's arts challenge is that it is a very skillful and creative challenge which I feel she will be able to achieve as she was very skilled in Art and photography. I think she will produce a well presented and creative collage.

''Cool Britannia'' Mood Board
Unit 1, Assignment 1.1, Part B:
2) + 3) Review your Arts Challenge every week and write a 300 word report on how you have attempted to achieve your Arts Challenge.
This week I began the arts challenge by creating two mood boards in response to the main theme- ''Cool Britannia'' which gave me some ideas as to what I could include in my arts challenge and was almost like a photographic brainstorm. I created the mood boards using a variety of images that I collected from different sources on the internet (news websites, history websites, tourist websites etc). I also made sure that each image could be directly linked back to the main theme and both mood boards focus on a different part of Britain:
Mood Board 1:
In this mood board I wanted to show a modern side of British culture so I included images of Brixton market, a full English breakfast, red post box etc. I also included a panoramic image of the London skyline and the back ground of the mood board is the London underground map.
Mood Board 2:
In this mood board I included images that showed a more traditional side of Britain and more iconic images that represent Britain. For example the British motto '' Keep Calm and Carry On'' , a British bull dog and postage stamp. I tried to include some key moments in British history, for instance in the mood board there is Stonehenge, the globe theater, a portrait of Queen Victoria, the RMS Titanic etc.

SILVER ARTS AWARD, Unit 1
SILVER ARTS AWARD
Unit 1
Assignment 1.1 Part A: Identify and agree on an appropriate arts challenge
OPTIONS
1) Picture collage for creative arts evening in response to the theme ''Cool Britannia''
I have chosen this challenge because I did photography as one of my GCSE options so I have the relevant knowledge and skills to complete it. Also while completing it I could further develop my photography and creative skills. Although this challenge does not reflect my aspirations it does reflect my creative side as photography is one of my favorite hobbies. I feel like my strengths in this challenge will be my previous experience of photography and my weaknesses I feel would be that I have never really worked as independently as this challenge requires.
2) Create a painting/artistic piece for creative arts evening in response to the theme ''Cool Britannia''
This challenge was also chosen on the basis that i have previous experience and relevant skills in art as I completed my art GCSE with an A*. In this challenge I would like to develop my artistic skills and is a way for me to continue to do art since I did not choose it as one of my Alevel subjects. my strengths would be that I have completed arts projects before so I know the procedure and how to plan out my time. My weakness, like the first challenge, would be that I would have to work very independently with little input from arts teachers.
3) Create a costume for the whole school production of Le Miserable
I chose this as it poses more of a challenge than the first two options. It poses such a great challenge because I have very little experience with a sewing machine and I would have to develop all of my textile skills from scratch with almost little to no help. I like this challenge as I would have to step out of my comfort zone and try something that I have never done before. This challenge does not reflect my aspirations but it does reflect my creative and artistic personality. I feel that my strengths in this challenge would be that I have the creative and artistic skills required to create a design for the costume and my weakness would be that i do not have the technical skills to create the costume.
4) Be cast in the whole school production of Les Miserable
I have chosen this challenge as I feel that I would be forced to leave my comfort zone and try something new. In this challenge I feel that it would mostly be me trying and learning new things about drama. It would also mean that I would gain a knowledge of the French Revolution and a greater understanding of French history. My strengths in this challenge would be that I am resourceful so would be able to find relevant information to help me find out more and I would practice for my the audition. My weaknesses would be that I don't have any previous experience within drama and therefore do not have any skills.
CHOSEN ARTS CHALLENGE
I have chosen to mix up the picture collage challenge and the art challenge to form a new challenge. It is now to create a picture collage with artistic elements for creative arts evening in response to the theme ''Cool Britannia''. This union of challenges means that I now have a challenge that i have previous experience in and one that I am passionate about. I will post my progress in this challenge on blogger through pictures and sketches. I will also include images of my piece being showcased at Creative Arts Evening.
