Roy Lichtenstein Influences!

This was something new, we were told about this trip and due to me working around the clock, day and night. I was worried I may miss the trip so I did my own research on the artist and what it was all about. I found a documentary on Roy Lichtenstein on YouTube and It showed me a lot about how he created his pieces, I appreciated the vibrant colors of the pieces, however I was slightly skeptical about the changes he was making I wanted to know more about why he altered these drawings.

Once going to the gallery we had two two exhibitions to see the first one was Roy Lichtenstein's Pop Art it was a lot more interesting to see up close, I was able to get more Ideas on what I could possibly include in my SKY Arts Sting. The Things that stood out to me the most were the polka dots and how he used them to visually represent a mirror and rays of light. The other aspect that also intrigued me was how he used triangles and also the ability to add the pop art style to Picasso style of drawing.

The Next gallery, A Bigger Splash wasn't something I would think of when you first say the word art, it was very experimental on the idea of using splashes, a certain part of me isn't comfortable with the Idea that using a paint brush and splashing it onto a canvas as Art and being recognized for it, it just seemed like if you was the first one to practice this art then you would succeed, anyone after would just be a copy, which didn't really sit right with me, I enjoyed the last piece where space and it seemed like we was in a room, the artist did very well with the shadows and including depth in the work, especially when looking at the telephone on the wall.
