Visit to Walsall Art Gallery and Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

  On Friday we visited Walsall Art Gallery and Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. First we went to Walsall and I was interested by Rachel Goodyear's,'Blindspots'-watercolour, ink on paper and aluminium. I think the aspect about some installation pieces that I find interesting are the shadows that they cast and how this makes the composition expand across the room.

Whilst outside the gallery I took the opportunity to photograph textures that relate to my current artists that I am studying. For example, this sticker that has been peeled off a wall, leaving a shape that is jagged.

 When we progressed to Birmingham, I focussed more on photographing the architecture and the street signs that are in the city. I took a photograph of a stained glass window that was on the museum as it reminded me of Helen Frankenthaler's work in which the colour has a translucency.
