Photographing Nuneaton to gain media that is similar to my artists' work.


This is a photograph of a wall inside McDonald's. This reminds me of Helen Frankenthaler's work, due to solid colours being placed on top of one another.
I focussed on taking close-ups of signs to produce similar shapes to Helen Frankenthaler. In this photograph I like how the white and the red shapes are geometric.

This is a close-up of a road sign, again I think this creates interesting shapes, especially with the diagonal lines. As this sign was quite high, I didn't manage to get a face-on photograph but as a result of this, a different perspective is seen.

This photograph of a tree's trunk inspires me as the vibrant yellow is arranged in random circular shapes on the trunk, contrasting the dull brown. I could use this photograph as reference to Helen Frankenthaler or Chila Burman as she uses a different textures.


This photograph of the graffiti offers another mark that I could use when studying Mark Tobey. The top part of the mark reminds me of the calligraphy-like marks that Tobey does make, but the bottom more curved section is another way I could make marks.


The way that the paint has fell off this sign has created shapes similar to what is found in Helen Frankenthaler's work. I was looking at this based on the shape that the rust has created in the framework of the sign.
