Silver Arts Award Unit 1 Part C: review arts events - Twenty One Pilots

What happened at the arts event?
Tweny One Pilots' concert, The Bandito Tour




 Where did you go?

Manchester Arena


What did you see/do?

Twenty One Pilots concert.


When did you go?

5th March 2019


 What happened at the arts event?

Music concert.



 Describe which art forms were involved.

Music and visual arts.



 Have you seen or done something like this before? What was similar to things you’ve seen or done in the past?

I've been to one other concert before, it was similar, but the contents of the concerts were very different, the way visual arts were used and also the styles of music.



 Was there anything unexpected about what you saw/experienced?

During their third song, in the middle of the song, the music cut, and Tyler Joseph (the singer in Twenty One Pilots) fell down into a hole in the stage, and then he reappeared almost immediately in the crowd, on the top floor of the arena, with the spotlight on him, he then continued the song.

I also didn't expect the whole venue to be used, there was an A stage and a B stage, both on different sides of the arena, so even people sat in the back could be closer to the band.  The lighting gantry came down from the ceiling so that the band members could walk across to the smaller B stage (you can see this in the earlier pictures on this post).



 What did you think was good, and why?

I think everything was good, to be honest, they planned everything out so well, and it was carried out very well also.

I liked the visuals on the screen, the way they incorporated video sequences and images to match the song.

Also the stage setup was very creative and effective, as was the lighting.



 Was there anything about the arts event you didn’t like? Why?

There were people talking loudly in front of me, which was distracting during quieter/slower songs.



 What have you learnt from this arts event?

I learnt more about twenty one pilots' personalities and their creativity. I also learned more about the meanings behind songs by the visual performance.



 What thoughts or ideas will you take away with you?

The performance was very inspiring. It inspired me in many ways.

Their creativity was inspiring, and gave me many ideas and themes for my drawings.

Unit 2 Arts Leadership - Silver Arts Award Unit 2 Part C: effective arts leadership

My project:  Teaching a small group of people how to draw a realistic human eye using pencils. I began with an introduction to what I will be teaching.   I asked the participants questions about the topic - what they knew about the human eye, so I could better understand the participants' abilities, and work off that.  This was part of my improving communication skills as I needed to be clear about the process of drawing an eye so that they could follow my instructions. I asked the participants to draw the subject, before I had taught them anything, so I can even better understand their skills, and help them based on their ability. After I asked the participants to try out drawing, I began my explanation of how I draw an eye.  My aim was to pass on the skill that I had previously learned and to encourage their own creativity by encouraging each participant individually to build on their own skills and not just cop...

Silver Arts Award Unit 1 Part B: review your arts challenge

Did you achieve your arts challenge? My aim in this Arts Challenge is to learn how to do portraits and different faces in different mediums, and to learn how to do proper facial proportions when drawing. I think I have achieved this, and I am happy with most of the pieces of artwork I produced. I wanted to try out pastels, but my artwork ended up not getting finished on time. My art teacher helped me with doing the facial proportions, and using different techniques with the different mediums. What went well? Why? Ever since I begun the arts challenge, I have been drawing a lot more than I usually did, so I have improved on a lot of my skills. These skills include drawing technique, using the software for digital art, and getting the facial proportions right in all the mediums I practiced in. What was more challenging? Why? For me, I always had trouble with creating similar or symmetrical features on portraits, and I still find it very difficult to help change that on my portr...

Silver Arts Award Unit 1 Part D: arts research

For part D of unit 1 of the silver arts award, I learned about different practitioners of the Arts and about careers and courses in the Arts through a careers and courses evening at Manchester Art school and a Graphic Design Saturday Club, also held from Manchester School of Art. Things I learned at the Graphic Design Club: In the Graphic Design Saturday Club, the different forms of art we learned ranged from typography, lettering, poster design, both digital and physical forms of graphic design, calligraphy and we did some rearranging shapes to make pictures. Various practitioners of graphic design came into the Saturday club to talk about the art form of which they study or work in, this included a typographer, calligrapher, and various graphic designers. I was inspired by the people who did the graphic design talk, since they talked about what forms of graphic design they did, so it made me think about what I wanted to do with my graphic design skills and has inspired me to ...
