Yep you read it right! Me and Mark had a trip to the Art Gallery in Leeds - we also went to have a look round other places but that was the highlight of the day. We only got round maybe half of the Gallery and found the Art Space which I went to when it was first opened but it wasnt as detailed and functioning like it is now.
The first photo is I believe a BANKSY in Leeds near the Light. I always pass it in town and never have my camera, lesson learned!!! Others are from the Gallery - I didnt take too many as I wanted to respect copyright - the one I feature is a drawing I know my dad would appreciate I will put up the artist details too so you know who it is by - they are featuring the Northern Art Competition winners and some of the work was amazing - because of the tight knit security I couldnt take a photo so I left it to describe the exhibition was about lighting - lots of different lamps making circles - the artist had composed it by using Footballs and other round objects to make shadow on the wall. I think the best thing that I love the most about the Leeds Art Gallery now its UP TO DATE, its free, people can get involved physically and there are lots of different subjects including the connection to the Henry Moore Building - I really hope to get more involved this year with community projects or rather workshops. I need to get out into the world more!!!
Mark and me decided to draw - I always like to make something for others and made a
piggy for my sister in law Jaime - Hope you like it I did it just for you in mind (she loves pigs : )!!! Mark decided to do a little tribute to Canada - how he misses it soooo. He did a Lovely red maple leaf with his own funky design - he said it was his best yet...go Mark! We also made a visit to the Art Library too I got to see the old space where I exhibited my own work two years ago - memories!! *Also we went into a room where there was chalk and magnetic word strips where we could make up our own phrases. I did and that is why I made it the title of this blog, infact I like the phrase SO MUCH I may do a photographic project surrounding the concept - so you heard it here first.
On the way home on the bus we were cramped in the back of the double decker and I was fascinated by this smiley face in the window - Mark said "why you getting your camera out now?!?!" I wanted to document it because it looked like the smiley face was crying and it just kept streaming down the glass it looked REAL. I said "THATS ART". Then Mark saw the photo and proclaimed LOUD "WOW THATS SO COOL BECK!" hehe he makes me laugh.
So I hope you enjoy seeing out litte adventure. I like pushing myself to do this because I make myself remember the good things and focus on my creative talent. Mark got me a set of actions today so I used it on the Obama/BANKSY image - yey for creativeness.
