For my first review, me and my friend Kaitlin went to the Tate Modern, which is a modern art museum in London. We decided to go here because we wanted to explore there, as it is something that I hadn't experienced before. The first thing I noticed was the amazing architecture in the entrance hall of the museum, it was all very vast with a striking black and white colour scheme, which I liked because I thought it added to the overall effect.
One of the things I liked most about the museum was the variety of different art that was featured there. There was a whole range of different art, for example, sculptural, digital, and photography. However, one thing that I noticed about the museum was there wasn't many interactive exhibits, so if there was one thing that I would change about it, that would be it. Apart from that, I really enjoyed looking at all the art, and reading about the inspiration and hard work that had gone into each piece.
One of the pieces that I really liked was " Women at the Treff-Modelle Clothing Factory" by Helga Paris. It is a series of pictures of women that work at the factory, and it captures their clothes, posture, and working environment in detail. I love that when you look at one picture on its own, you really get an insight on the individual character, but when you see the series as a whole, it represents the workforce as a team. Another reason why I liked it was because it features Portrait Photography, which is a technique that I explored during parts A and B.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience a I have never been to a modern art museum before. Also, seeing all the fantastic art will definitely influence and inspire me the next time I'm creating something artsy.
Thanks for sharing your review Maisie. Your favourite pieces by Helga sounds good and I might have to try and pop down to see it. How do you think the art will influence your next piece?
