Camden
We went to camden to take some shots of people and everyday life , building trees , people walking etc , i really enjoyed this the freedom to take pics of anything your think represents everyday life i did pics of the river there with the boat and the stalls with people selling things on there such as food clothes etc and there was so many people i got shots of that too and the buildings had objects stuck to it like this snake picture , in 3 d on the buildings there was also a converse shop with a converse shoe sticking out really noticeable , and i took a load of random ones :)

Welcome Collection
I know this is not in the contextual design thing , but i found the art very interested in it , the sculptures and antiques in the gallery was awesome , there was a section on obesity and it really shows how everyone is portrayed different and how in the old times it never really existed and now it does and everyone is is original and them , if everyone was the same then the world would just be boring and dual ,
I also found the shop interesting in the gallery the books there gave me a great idea to make one of my books for graphics , also in the gallery there was a short film made which was very inspiring to me , i could really relate to a load of the art there , and there was a wall of clippings and baby clothes and dresses which was more like a collage made up of peoples whole lives which i stood there staring at it for a while , you could really get into it and see what the artists was trying to express , i love looking at art because you try to look at it through the artists point of view and its like looking into their soul in a way , i really do enjoy doing that sometimes , You can see peaces of work through loads of different angles , which is fun , the only thing with this place there was so little of it, i mean each floor had some sort of moral message , and i do feel that it could have done with loads more , but a side from that it was pretty cool .

National Portrait - National Gallary
I Found the national portrait gallery very interesting , as i saw a load of faces that i recognised , And i loved how there were so many different takes on how to portray a portrait , some you could not even see the face but the features were still there which was very entertaining , i must say i had never been here before i came and i will go again as there are still so many i have not seen .
as for the national gallery it was alright not my fave as it only seem to have one theme which was set around the virgin and child , mean it was just abit much , some images were good but when you have seen one you have seen all.
All in all the galleries were cool , i liked the artwork and the style and composition of each frame of work , i took some sketches of the work but i do hope to go back and do some more sketches of my point of view of the work .

2 temple place
William Morris, ‘King Arthur and Sir Launcelot’, from The Story of Tristram and Isoude series.
Stained-glass panel, 1862. Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.
Bradford Museums and Galleries
I had to do most of my research online as i could not attend this place , But i found this one image , which was there , which made me think about the pattern and different art-word in this one image , there was different shapes within this figure . I liked how the background was so simple yet complex in the way of imagination .
Design for Acanthus furnishing fabric.
Pencil and watercolour on paper, 1879. William Morris Gallery, London.

This image looked great in this pattern form , it looks a bit like a map , with the style of it , I can see leafs in it and some different types of flowers , if you look hard enough you can find all sorts of images in this one big image
The stuff i have gathered in this 2 temple place is that , every image has hidden images inside it , and that they are just not the big image the make , they are made up of loads of different ones .
Hauser & Wirth London
This gallery was shocking to say the least , i found the first part of the gallery quite cool there was this robotise figure which was broken when i attended but it was meant to move around an light up on the wall different images .
there was this room with all different stuff on the wall it looks like people have just doodled all over the wall but in natural fact that is just what the wanted us to think it is designed to make you think out side of the box and think what was meant by it .
The second part of gallery
This image , i was trying to think what to say about it , is still do not really know what to say accept it was probably designed to shock the audience or whoever saw it , it could be representing social class , has we are all animals , and maybe it was trying to reference that , how humans are more high up in the animal social chain . but might not be the case
One bit of this gallery i could say about was the video of the women being covered in plaster-scene , i think this represented suffocation .

Somerset House
Somerset house
In this gallery we had to look at one painting which was a peace called "A bar at the folers-bergere"buy
edoward manet between the years of 1832-83
This peace was in a bar the colours were really daul i thought this matched her mood there was a women at the bar who looked miserable , The atmosphere was described by the artist as depressing .
my friend was talking about perspective at first i did not see it then after some study i began to like the perspective of the painting , and i liked the detail it as very spot on and the emotion that went with the atmosphere was perfect .
It was very mirror angles at the back , at least that is what it looked like ,I found the rest of the images very cool in the gallery , my friend alighted to me that the painting in the gallery resembled humans without body hair of any kind which was odd .
I saw these treasure chest models which looked like a coffin with feet found that very interested .
All in all this was my favourite gallery of the lot as it was very peaceful and interested .
