Hepworth gallery visit

Hepworth Gallery 

This weekend i took a visit to the hepworth gallery to have a look round to see if there was anything new and inspirational. The hepworth gallery is in my home town of wakefield so i take frequent visits to the gallery whenever i am passing. The gallery has a constant exhibition of the work of barbara hepworth which is very interesting as it shows the tools she used in her work studio and also images of her at work. below are a few images of the large sculpture that are in he hepworth gallery. 

           

I enjoy revisiting the hepworth to look at these sculptures are there large size is intriguing as well as the odd shades and structures.

At the gallery they were also showing work of other artists, below are a select few of the pieces that i look an interest in

I took an interest in these images as they were  mono prints which is a traditional method that interests me because of just how much detail you can add into the image as well as texture and depth with the printing method. I also liked because the colour pallet was limited with i a similar style that i like to work in. 

After visiting this exhibition i would like to try mono printing and possibly see what interesting patterns and texture i could create.

Future set up/ Career

After creating my future plan mood board i have reconsidered what i want for the future. I have decided that i do not want to be a creative director as i want to be part of all the action, being able to design work and not tell others what to design. I would also like to work with traditional methods of working such a screen print and also book binding as these are skills that throughout my time at leeds college of art, so i can apply them to my work in the future.

Creating a grid template

 In lesson we were discussing the use of a templates for presentation and design boards. Creating our own template is useful as it gives us an identity to our work and presentation as it would be identified with us. A template also allows you to create design boards that are consistent in style and look like a set, it also allows you to label each set with a title that will run throughout.
here are a few basic examples that i used to help create mine:

Design board design 1 - 

the grid for this design board was 6 columns and 6 rows, with a line down the end of the first column allowing my to label the presentation.

this is what it would look like without the grid lines.

Above are two ways in with i could use the columns to add imagery and text along side each other, the spacing between that images and texts are a gutter width apart which is constant throughout the design boards.

Design board design 2 -

Above is another design that used the same grid as he first but the line is at the bottom of the slide. I think this works betters it is not the most important part of the slide as it is just added information and  not the most important thing on the slide, because of this it i my preferred design. It will be used in the same was as design 1 spacing everything a gutter apart.
