Albert Irvin

Today Albert Irvin is another artist I've looked at. His work is very child like but so bright and funky he uses thick lines bold colours and wacky shapes to creAte his pieces. They are so appealing to look At and I think this is due to the use of colours throughout his pieces. I was thinking that this type of work would probably appeal a lot to children as well and it's extremely exiting and fun looking.

Sarah Boyts

Today I have looked at an artist named Sarah boyts. Her work is very unusual and she uses materials such as papers and cards to create pieces and shapes. Her work is amazing and could be seen to some people as quite childish. I have created some pieces based on her work and it looks a lot easier than it is to do. I really admire how bold she is with her shapes and colours. I think more artists should be this fearless.

Tom Abbis smith

I've researched a lot using Pinterest trying to find artists that I find inspiring for the route I'm wanting to go down. I've looked today at an artist called tom Abbiss smith and I have created a sheet in my sketchbook based on his work. He created pieces using a vary of shapes and colours and his brush strokes and ways of working are very unique and naive looking.

Naive art

After visiting the exhibition I have had new ideas and new artists in mind to look at. As I said in my last post I think that the work was very simple and naive looking which is another route I want to go down. I have looked at many artists who use simple form and shapes along with block colours to create eye catching abstract pieces which truly amaze me. I have decided to possibly go down this avenue and simplifying key shapes in the birthing process along with colours that link with emotions to create a naive looking piece that's also really effective.

The Civic exhibition.

Today I visited the Sam shendi mother and child exhibition at the civic gallery in Barnsley. This visit was part of our project as we're working closely with this exhibition. I really didn't have high expectations of these sculptures through seeing them in photographs but when I finally saw them in the flesh I completely changed my mind. The colours where so bright and all the pieces spoke out to me and told a different story. Colour psychology is a massive part of these pieces which really appealed to me and the pathway I'm wanting to go down. Looking at the sculptures I could see a sort of nativity in them with the simplicity and block colours. I really loved this exhibition and it gave me so many new ideas to work off

Bright coloured artists

I've been looking at lots of artists who use bright colours in there work. I've mostly been finding these artists on Pinterest however I have also looked at piccolos rose and blue periods as they are key examples of expressing emotions through colours in art

Symbolism

Now I've decided to look also at symbols and simplifying objects that link closely with mothers and children and also the birthing process, I've been looking at objects like eggs, sperm and umbilical cords and simplifying them into shapes that are much plainer and less detailed.

colours

So at this point I have only been researching colour theory, I've decided to look closely at colours and the emotions they show as I feel that's a massive part of art that is often overlooked. I want to look closer at earthy colours to show growth and naturalistic vibes and also greens that demonstrate fertility and also growth
