Our fine art class had went on a trip throughout the yorkshire sculpture park, being guided by an artist and being told about the various sculptures throughout. There was a large variety of different work but the most prominent and shown off was that of Henry Moore, which was shown with in a three roomed gallery space and held a lot of his huge sculptural work as well as various sketches of his plannings as well as some of his actual equipment which had been used within his work.
Walking throughout the fields there were sculptures littered amongst trees and large areas making use and working with its spaces. One of my favourites out of all of these was Julian Opies running horse, which was presented on a large computer screen. It shown just the outline of the horse however its movements was extremely fluid and looked anything but robotic from even though its outline was drawn with bright white LED lights.
After lunch we had been given an variety of different objects and told to make sculptures based on given words, in my case it was light and dark, and with my partner we presented it with an abstract figure committing suicide by hanging to show the dark, and a rainbow in the background to show the light. It signified the audience could see the man with the rainbow, however he was stuck looking at the audience, being judged in a manner of speaking, and only seeing the negativity, but however if he changed perspectives and looked around he would also be able to see the rainbow, and the way out as it were.
