19/09/2012 Liverpool Trip...

College took us to Liverpool and we could choose what we wanted to go and see. There are many galleries in Liverpool and the art culture is huge. I chose to visit the Tate gallery on the docks, it has a wide variety of art (most of which is modern). I've been before and the previous time I went there were more floors open. This time two of the floors were closed off for 'special' exhibitions, which was a little disappointing.
The art displayed at the Tate wasn't of a particular interest to me, however, there was one display where images were in complete darkness and the only way you could see them was to use flash photography.

Later in the day I decided I wanted to look at the architecture in Liverpool. The ventilation building was stunning, there was so much thought that had gone into the design of a buildings thats main purpose was to ventilate the underground tunnel. It displayed many Art Deco features and I found it to be quite modern for its time. I am later going to attempt to use some of the shapes to create some inspirational pieces of my own.
