Art Trip- The New Art Gallery Walsall & Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery


Overall the trip was very inspiring. I fell in love with Rachel Goodyear's work in The New Art Gallery; I have always loved the effect that watercolour can achieve and her work was a great example of the beauty of the medium.

I could do something like this with
my own work, I could hang pieces
and play around with the shadows
they create.





I took this photo while walking out
at the end of Goodyear's 'Oracle' animation.
I'd like to incorporate shadows into my work
in some kind of way.

This is a composition of small pieces done my Goodyear.
the three photos below are some of the pieces that are a part of it.
Here she has used a
material to add a 3D
aspect to her work.
This is something I
could try.

This is part of Goodyear's 'Oracles' animation. Its made me think
about how art doesn't have to be a drawing on a canvas but instead
can include music and movement to evoke an emotion.

Other than Goodyear's work the other piece that stood out to me was this:
This composition consists of some
abstract shapes which act as a
platform for a dancing woman
that is being projected onto the shapes.
Using a projector is something I really
want to experiment with and so I was drawn
to this piece of work.

I have been to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery before and so didn't look around too much and I didn't take many photos, however, I did look around the 'I Want, I Want' exhibition. The exhibition stunned me with how unique and different all of the work was. I enjoyed the concept of being able to walk into a small theatre type room to experience videos in isolation from the rest of the work and was also drawn to a piece of work that was interactive and had a game incorporated into it. I like the idea of art being interactive and so may begin to incorporate this concept into my own work.
