Observational drawing

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 .

Tate Modern

Tate modern

This film symbolised a lot of light and colour and movement , even though there was no sound it was very powerful with the visual images , one image had a bubble floating around this could mean a variety of things , like playing etc one of my friends said it could mean boredom as people play with bubbles when they are bored .
One had the sea brushing past like a beach then there was a fountain straight after which looked interesting very calming which to me is usually what the water means unless it is rough .
I Found this film quite inspiring .
