My Interpretation
This is my interpretation of how a Henry Moore piece of work would look like. Well not exactly. Moore focused on imperfections and having your own style, defying what people told you to do. I used him as an inspiration, and defied by teacher's wishes by making two shadows instead of one. This is supposed to be a sculpture. Of course, I just used photoshop to create musical notes using the pen tool, and adding two different drop shadows by copying and pasting one.
20 Facts about Henry Moore
So for Henry , here are the original 20 facts I found on this particular artist:
1) Henry Moore was born on July 30 in 1989 in Castleford Yorkshire
2) He was the 7th child in a family of 8
3) His father worked in the mines, and encouraged his kids to get an education so they wouldn’t have to be poor and work in the mines
4) He started to like art as a teen, and eventually got a scholarship to Castleford Secondary School
5) He was called into the army at 18, and then was injured by a gas attack at the battle of Cambrai
6) Since he was injured, he ended up spending the rest of the time in the military training new recruits. He claims his time in the military was the most traumatic time in his life.
7)After the war, he continued his education and in 1921 won a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art.
8) He was experimenting with new styles and this often conflicted with his teachers who were trying to teach the classic style: perfection in form and composition. Moore liked imperfections evident in sculpting.
9) In 1924, he spent time travelling in Italy and later Paris. He admired the works of Michelangelo and Giovanni Pisano. Moore was also influenced by his studies of primitive art, and at the Louvre he was particularly influenced by the Toltec-Maya sculptural form, the Chac Mool.
10) Started teaching at the Royal College of Art.
11) In 1930s, he became an active member of the informal modern art movement.
12) He focused on Pablo Picasso and Jean Arp styles, but also lightly touched on the surrealist movement.
13) During the second World War, he started producing images of World War 2. One of his famous being civilians fleeing London underground.
14) In 1948 he was awarded the International Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale.
15) In 1972, Henry Moore established his Henry Moore Foundation - a charitable trust to promote art education and the support of young artists.
16) He turned down a knighthood in 1951 because he didn't want to be seen as an establishment figure.
17) One of his most famous sculptures is the Woman with a circle in her stomach. This represents his favoritism for imperfect art.
18) Known as the most important British Sculptor of the 20th century
19) "A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds." is a famous quote
20) Died August 31st, 1986 in Much hadham, East Hertfordshire, England

Xtranormal
For this particular presentation, I used xtranormal. It's a video creator that gives you a large variety of scenes, options, characters, and actions. You can type in what you want your characters to say. It's fairly easy to use, and with experience, you're sure to get better. It may seem great at first glance, but in order to use any of the good features, you have to pay for them. And you are limited to one free presentation per account on your first time on there. I'd recommend it though for someone's first time.
