We went to London for an a-level art trip. These are some pictures of the landmarks that I took.
 |
| South Bank |
 |
| The Globe Theatre |
 |
| Big Ben |
As well as site seeing. We went to Tate Britain, Tate Modern and the V & A. The Tate Britain had lots of Victorian portraits that fit perfectly with my theme.
 |
| William Orpen The Mirror |
 |
| Sydney Starr Study In Blue And Grey |
 |
| Gwen John Self Portrait |
 |
| John Singer Sargent Ena and Betty |
 |
| William Rothenstein The Dolls House |
It seemed like the most gritty and eery. This makes it fit perfectly with the violent and
dark time, that I'm focusing on. I really like the shadows on the man, it creates an uneasy feeling.
The V & A also had a lot of interesting Victorian pieces.
 |
| A Victorian Corset |
 |
| A Victorian Dress |
Looking at the clothing help me with seeing exactly what the fashion was like. This helps in fitting in with my alternative sketch book. (http://eleanorsophiewass.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/alternative-sketch-book-idea.html)
There were also interior decor.
 |
| Victorian Sink |
 |
| Victorian Room |
 |
| Victorian Tempus Fugit Clock |
I'm going to take some of the patterns from these to use on my alternative sketchbook. It was really helpful to go and look at all these exhibitions because its given me lots of ideas for both my sketchbook and sketchbook.
