Installations

Whilst i have the time i thought it would be appropriate to upload these images, before i get more and more and have to blog many a time a day. i have included these pieces of art as they are all installations and that is still the direction that i want my work to flow in this year. We found them all at Wolverhampton Art Gallery when myself; Amy and Jaz went on our adventure.

They were all in an exhibition called 'SENSING SCUPTURE' and the idea was that you were to interactive with the art using your senses; whether it be smell, sight touch etc. We took every opportunity to do that and had a great time. The enjoyment that i felt is the way i want people to feel about my installation. To think it is clever and want to investigate it and interact with it. Here are some snaps of our interactions.










This exhibition was wonderful and would be deemed as good art by Jensen (2001) who says that good art and good art teaching is sensory. As children learn best when they are active as it makes the learning memorable. (Jensen, 2001 in Koster 2009)
