Venice is built on more than 100 small islands in the Adriatic Sea and consists of no cars, motorways or roads, just canal boats. It used to be a great trading location which is why the buildings are so grand and inspiring. The Grand Canal snakes through the city, which is filled with innumerable narrow, mazelike alleys and small squares.
It is an inspiring place to walk around and explore because you see how people cope without roads and cars. I was lucky enough to have a film camera to take pictures for a project I was working on for a previous course. As Venice is such as photogenic city I took advantage of the opportunity and got some good photographs out of it. Processing the film in the dark room allowed me to manipulate the images to create some abstract results.
Venice houses the Guggenheim Museum, composed of masterworks of Cubism, Futurism, European Abstractionism, Metaphysical Painting, Surrealism, and American Abstract Expressionism. Among the artists represented are Klee, Picasso, Braque, Duchamp, Léger, Dalí, Magritte, Miró, Picabia, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Giacometti, Ernst, Pollock, Rothko, Calder, Moore, and Marini. This was one of my favourite gallery visits because I got to see famous artwork up close, instead of just on a digital screen. It also introduced me to artists such as Calder:
Abstract Expressionism is an influential movement that I have researched into so it was a great experience being able to some Jackson Pollock. Pollock is one of the iconic artists from Abstract Expressionism. Being able to stand close to the canvas allowed me to see the paintings in more detail.
Graphic Design
I visited a graphic design exhibition which changed my perception of the subject and inspired me to choose graphic design. Visiting a lot of galleries has really inspired me and helped me develop a style and I will continue to visit more.
