Year2 Assignment1: London Trip & Inspiration

image by Mário Sousa Pinheiro

yesterday we went on a trip to London. we went to Tent London which had some incredible pieces but it spent to long looking around and had to rush about 1/2 of it. and then we went to the Tate Modern to see the Exposed exhibition which i could not afford so i instead went round the rest of the gallery looking for inspiration for this project. i took down the names of work that i like in Tent London and the Tate Modern. here is the list i compiled. i may blog some images/work of each of theres but the list is alot bigger than the one i had for my thoughts and inspiration and that took me ages! i have linked to these site and to the pieces that inspired me where possible.

the styles of some of the paintings by Joan Miro & Paule Vezelay would be well suited to the idea of Microscopic life.
