Unit X - College Four - Inspiration
During my time off during assessment/feedback week, I decided to take a trip to London to see some of the exhibitions that were being shown and to relax a little bit before the new brief and to maybe gain some inspiration.
These are some images from the 'Hello, My Name is Paul Smith..' exhibition that was on at the Design Museum. I really enjoyed this exhibition as it was more focused on the way that Paul Smith works, rather than the work he produces. I shows his thought process and all the work that goes into getting to the final piece. I felt very inspired by this and it showed me a new way of thinking and expressing my ideas and work.
Another exhibition I visited was the 'Warhol to Picasso' exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum. I thought this exhibition was interesting but not for me. I was very heavily focused on printed textiles rather than a wide variety of the different types of textiles. I did find some new textiles artist to research and it did open my eye to the different types of printed textiles, but it wasn't for me. I also visited the 'Richard Hamilton' exhibition that was on at the Tate Modern. I'd come across Hamilton before but never really looked into his work before so I thought it would be good to visit an exhibition of his. I really, really enjoyed his work and the Tate had made the exhibition really big, featuring all of his work with a lot of information about each piece and him.
As well as doing some drawings, I also tried out a new app that I downloaded on my iPhone. The app was a photography app, Pro HDR, which takes high-resolution images. However, when taking the photos the image was not kept the straight, things moved around, and the outcome was really interesting and I think these pictures have come out really well.
