Year 1 Art

Yorkshire Sculpture Park Trip On this trip I decided to take pictures, some of sculptures and some not. It was to show that art and detail is everywhere not just in the intended places.  I took a picture of a sheep to show the nature that surrounded the sculpture park. Natural life like this is just as beautiful as man-made art.   I think that the textures of the sheep are intriguing. There are many different ones that I can identify, such as: the fluffiness of the wool, the roughness of the hooves. I could imagine using these types of materials in experiments, but I can't see myself including them in a final piece. To me, these materials don't seem to have any meanings and so there's no real need to use them unless it was solely for its texture. This was part of a gate. The design of it really interested me as it's very intricate. There appears to be something wrapping around an arrow. Also, as seen in the background of this image, two arrows...

However, I am usually more interested in the reason behind artwork and the possible meanings. This is just because I believe that everything has an inspiration and without one, things can fall flat (not become known). René's work didn't excite me because of the methods, but because of the hidden messages he was getting across. The pure craziness of some of his creations were fascinating, they were out of the ordinary and being different in a world of boring is a lot more fun.

This is why some of Magritte's section isn't complete (due to not knowing where to start). Both of my chosen artists are inspirations to me as their artwork always appears to be well thought out. For me this is the most i...
