Art Book!!

I visited the IMMA in Dublin a weekend or two ago but was very disappointed to find all the gallerys were under maintenence :( There was one gallery open tho and i also got this really cool art book. It's called "Sketch Books, the hidden ART of designers,illustrators and creatives" by Richard Brereton.

I love it! It has all the ideas and thoughts of artists in there sketchbooks! It's really inspirational! Here are two examples! :)

I found this photographer, Berenice Abbott very interesting. I now want to work on more photograpghs and I don't change! :)

Here are some of his work.

Naomi Savage is savage!

So i came across this photgrapgher in a book I got out from the library about photograpghy. I found a lot of her pictures are abstract which I love.
Here is some of the photographs that i really enjoyed!

Textile Lecture!

So in the Textile lecture on Monday they showed us weaving. I thought it was really interesting how you can use all sorts of materials including paper. You can also make illusions with paper when you weave it. I decided to give it ago and was very happy with the the first piece i made. I used a poem called Road Not Taken by Robert Frost typed on a plain A4 sheet of paper and an image i took of a path.

 



3D Work!

So i went to a 3D workshop today! It helped a lot! I wanted to continue on with a box/square shape so i used paper. I didn't really know what i was doing at the start but then i square shape began to form. I took pictures to put up and one or two of the pictures looks very like an illusion so i was very happy with the out come!

These are the images I thought looked like illusions the most! 

PUBLISH, Don't save!

So as Halloween week was a general haze of the flu I have nothing to show for it! :( I did do some researching for my C.S.S. essay though... but anyhoo onwards and upwards with my project! :)

So I researched some photographers and found some images I thought were very interesting. I felt they linked with my work.

I also found 3d/2d digital artist called Hock! I found his images really interesting, they inspired me to do some 2d work like his!
