My
visit to Walsall gallery was inspiring as I witnessed many different styles of
art which expressed the artists emotions or interests. For example from viewing
Jacob Epstein work illustrated to me that he is enthusiastic about machinery,
as well as this he creates drawings using a pencil. This made me feel inspired
as the use of sharp lines and rough texture as well as the pencil drawings
depicts his versatility which stimulates me as they are very different medium
and would like to adapt this flexibility in my own work.
From
my visit to the Icon gallery I was impressed mostly by a pair of boxing
gloves hung on a string. Said gloves were gold and looked very light and soft
as if they were made out of a cushion material. Turns out they were actually
made out of brass metal. This portrays that the artist has the ability to
capture the different tones within the creases of the gloves to make it more
realistic.
The
final visit was at the Birmingham museum and art gallery which I thought was a
mixture between modern art and old art which are hundreds of years old. I
enjoyed the way the older art would be the size of the whole wall, if the image
were a
battle scene it really made you feel as though that scenery was surrounding you
as if you were there. The modern art, I found, was very textiles which was
extremely clever, I don’t believe I witnessed any fine art.
