6. DON’T CHOOSE WHAT
YOU’RE DOING YET!
• Firstly, decide who you’re going to work with –
MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION – Final say is with
Mrs. Raji
• Make sure everyone in your group has THEIR
OWN artist idea (Worksheet filled in and
biography written)
• Share your artists or band and discuss if you want
to choose one of those? or create a brand new
one?
• If you create a new one write a new biography
7. Time to get moody!
• Do you know what a mood board is?
• There are examples in class
• You need to create a mood board for your artist
• The board needs to communicate who your artist is and
what their album (music) would be like and also who their
fans are it should express their style, personality and music
genre (hence it creates a mood!)
• We don't want too much writing – lots of pictures and
images GET CREATIVE & MAKE IT LOOK GOOD
• You will have to present your mood board to the class and
tell them and Mrs. Raji about your artist
8. Target audience
• You will need to have an audience profile
completed to explain who your artist or band
would appeal to. Look at the example

11. HOMEWORK
• You now know the kind of artist you want to
create and what genre of music they are are
going to make. So now you need to research
similar artists.
• You can present this work in any format you
would like –BUT remember to make it look
good!
12. HOMEWORK: Researching
similar artists
• Choose two artists that are similar to yours and complete
the following:
• Who are the two artists?
• What kind of music do they make (genre)?
• What can you tell me about that genre of music?
– Where did it come from?
– Is it a mix of genres?
– What kind of mood/ atmosphere does it have?
• Who is the target audience for your artist? What are
their fans like? (e.g. Rhianna has The Navy and Nikki
Minaj has The Barbs)
13. HOMEWORK: Researching
similar artists
• What kind of clothes do these artists wear? Why?
Is it unique to them? Or do they wear the fashion
for the music genre?
• How does your artist act? what is their behaviour
like? On and off stage? Does this go with the
genres of music?
• Is there a message in their music? Are their songs
typically about the same thing? Why or why not?
Find the lyrics for one of their songs and describe
what the song is about.
