Hi, my name is Connor and this is my Bronze Arts Award portfolio. While I am doing this Arts Award I'll be working at Curious Minds an arts organisation that mainly aids schools in meseyside and Lancashire. The organisation does this by giving money to creative agents who are given a project to do e.g. I am going to a "gangsta' rappin'" project in a school called St. Cuthberts.
I live in Liverpool. I was born in Liverpool and hve lived here all my life so far. It's a great city and I've enjoyed every second that I've spent here.
I personally have a few hobbies. I play guitar and am quite a into video gaming. I chose to play guitar because I tend to listen to music where the guitar is used a lot for solos and is the main instrument used. I have currently only done Grade 1 on the guitar but I intend to aim higher and build on my guitar playing standard I'd quite like to aim for a grade two by the end of the year. In terms of music I like to play I pretty much enjoy playing anything except heavy and death metal. I despise that stuff. The main music though that I play is Indie rock because out of all the music that I listen to this has to be one of my favourites my other favourites include folk and dance music. A couple of my favourite artists are pendulum and Muse. In regards to video games I like what most other people like. First-person shooters e.g. Call of duty. I also have a passion for singing, Whether I'm any good or not I'm not sure. This attitude is probably a bad thing to have as I steer away from the school productions because I don't think I'm good enough. At this moment in time I'm gaining more confidence not only in singing but in everything I do. This makes life more enjoyable as I'm able to join events and talk to people I never would have spoken to before.
I also like watching stand up comedy. I like stand up comedy more than other types of comedy because you get a clear look at the imagination and creativity of the comedians. My faviroutes include Rhod Gilbert and Michael Mlctntyre
