Liverpool Palm House
As a class, we done a class trip to the Liverpool Palm House where we were able to do some sketches of it and get a chance to see how we all seen it in our own point of view. To start with, we took around 5 minutes to gather a load of pictures just so we had some first hand research that we could manipulate and play around with once we got back to the class room, once we had done that we took our sketchbooks out and had a range of different medias including: pencil, fine-liner and charcoal which we done 5 minutes sketches of different areas of the palm House in order to gather a range of different techniques and skills through the sketches. Once our drawings we done we would gather around in a group and place our books to the floor; in doing so, we were the given pros and cons about our sketches what what we could improve on in the future and what we had done well in the time given.
The trip all together was really interesting and I was able to have an experience of using different medias in such a short amount of time and seeing how well I could use them and what I could improve on. I also managed to work out what attracted me the most as an artist and it was the statues placed around the palm house, I believe portraiture is my strongest point therefore these statutes helped me bring that skill forward and also give a new point of view of the palm House from the rest of the group, it made me stand out.
The Palm house trip is a real opportunity to connect with Liverpool heritage whilst looking at the juxtaposition of organic vs man made structures, this is reflected a little in your annotation, there are clear connections between the in mages and your work. Think need to develop more artwork from this experience to take into the printing
