Bath
1st September
The visit to Bath with other Art Foundation Members kickstarted us all into our own tracks but also tacked the people together that would basically be living with each other for the next year.
Whilst there i vistied the Roman Baths and the Fashion Museum, two of baths greatest attractions.
Whilst at bath we were set two projects, one was to study movement and the second was to collect nine photos that link together by a specific theme. I chose to study the unique aspect of bath that clarrified its status, street furniture. The images below are the nine photos i chose to use.
Whilst discovering Bath i noticed that nothing was simple, everything had a trademark.
Like the lampost in the picture above there is the added detail that shows the elegancy of the city.
The iron work displayed above was decoration to a stairs railing.
I took the picture becuase it was almost telling me about the place that was past the stairs.
The picture above shows the decoration of the outside of a restaurant.
The incompariable look of bath contrasts to the other places that we see today. As when we look at places that are local to me such as a small town called Bedworth, you wouldnt find anything like what i seen in bath.

Birmingham Art Gallery
16th August 2010.
Exhibitions & Events:
- Aspects Of China
- Steve McCurry
I specifically wanted to go see the "Aspects Of China" exhibition becuase the collection had many different textile and handcrafted peices. Because i have been inspired by a textile artist before i felt it would be intretesting to look at art and textiles from a different approach and culture.
The collection of textiles, handcrafted peices and ceramics was gathered and put together by Dr Joan Waller. Waller was previously a teacher in english at bradford but after meeting a group of Chinese University teachers she moved to teach English Language in China in 1986. Waller then returned to the UK in the 1990's and presented her unique collection of chinese culture.

The work on display represented elegancy and great creative skills. Each indivisual aspect had precise and unique finishes and gave off a great sense of commitment. Each peice of work symbollised a different peice of culture which in ways leads to this whole collection symbollsing and teaching the culture them selves.
