YSP- Yorkshire sculpture park.


 I decided to vist the Yorkshire sculpture because I noticed a gap in the art that I look at. I have found that recently that I am just looking into illustration and I think that I know that I need to be looking at all art in order to understand it and bring that way of thinking or making into your own practise.
I tend to work big and build up my work in separate pieces so sculpture is seems a logical art form for me to look at as it is a art form that is planned and then pieced together.

Looking at some of these sculptures above reminded me in particular of the power of shape and how it can be manipulated to fit into many forms. Also with colour, in the image across, I loved how bright and viberant and sticking the colours are especially the yellow on the arm , I also like the religious context behind it , it is an interesting and fresh approach.
This next sculpture was a pointe and very meaningful piece in which is a collaboration between artist Asha Munn and the criminal justice system and working with inmates to build bird houses, representing the human built nature.
I really like this piece because the artist has collaborated with people who would benefit from it. Helping them create a positive thing and for there emphasis to be on that is really important. Using art to help and support people who may need it.
