Focusing on two Key Words from the mind map.To develop fountain ideas

From the mind map i have done about the art department, i had to select two words that i like best to describe the Visual Art department.
So from all of the different words i picked "Creative and Dynamic" to express in a better way the art department. They both show different ways of express art one in imaginative way and the other to by dynamic, use of colours, shapes, forms to produce a piece of art work that no one has ever done before.

Creative,refers to the phenomenon whereby something new is created which has some kind of subjective value(such as an idea,work, painting or musical composition, a solution, an invention).
It is also the qualitative impetus behind any given act of creation,and it is generally perceived to be associated with intelligence and cognition.

Dynamism, is the way somebody presents their work, using different ideas on their forms,shape,colours  which will bring something very unusual together, which will stand out too!


Inspirations:



  •  Artist: Charles Jencks
  • " DNA Double Helix 2005"
  • Made by aluminium
Clare College, Memorial Court.Visible from Queen's Road, This sculpture was donated by Nobel Laureate Jim Watson to commemorate his discovery,together with Francis Crick, of the structure of DNA.
Charles Jencks born on 1939, trained in architecture and has made several versions of this "Double Helix Sculpture". These are sited in different locations in UK and US including Kew Gardens.
He is also well known as a writer and broadcaster and also as the designer of unusual innovative gardens including The Garden of Cosmic Speculation near Dumfries.
When i looked at this artists public piece of art, it gave me inspirations for my public art piece, so linking with the art department is very dynamic and it would go well with the art department.

I could use, recycled material then splash paint on the piece.


  • Artist: Phillip King
  • Title "Span 1967"
  • Made with Painted Steel
Sedgwick site Faculty Buildings, Sedgwick Avenue. An early work by the formerPresident of the Royal Academy , it is now on loan to the University.
In his early career,Phillip King born on 1934, was leading figure among a group of young British sculptures known as the New Generation who came to critical prominence in the mid 1960's.
Since then he has established a major reputation nationally and internationally as a most innovative sculptor using a variety of materials from fibreglass and metal through to wood and slate.

Sculpture trail 2

The first task i had to do, to open the new brief "Public art" was to go into Cambridge City Centre and go around, take pictures of Public Art Sculptures. The first public art sculpture i took a picture of, was one called "Between the Lines 2007" by Peter Randall-Page. Carved from granite glacial boulder. The sculpture is just situated at Fisher Square,off Corn Exchange Street. Anew piece of public Art sited adjacent to the Grand Arcade. In 2009, Peter Randall- Page had a major retrospective exhibition at the yorkshire Sculpture Park whose website carries information about his work. The Public Art Sculpture that i went to, was "Talos 1950" by Michael Ayrton. The public piece is Bronze. And its situated in Guildhall Street. Talos is the legendary guardian of Minoan Crete. He was the giant man of Bronze who protected Europa in Crete. By depicting him without arms, Michael Ayrton portrays the anger and bewilderment felt by many of the post-war gen...

Eco Artists. Artists using recycled materials AURORA ROBSON - Sculptures using cut up plastic bottles and other discarded plastic.   MIWA KOIZUMI - uses a combination of cutting and heating plastic bottles to create stunning aquatic creatures.  Both artists who similar techniques within their work, the similarities between the two artists is that, they're Eco artists, they use recycled materials, which is plastic, they cut up to make different forms in they' re work. The difference about Aurora and Miwa is that, Aurora makes sculptures and Miwa makes aquatic creatures, also she heats up the plastic bottles and Aurora only cuts them. I like how Aurora makes the sculptures by cutting old plastic, and i like how Miwa uses the technique of heating up, the plastic starts to melt and it makes various forms which i like the idea.     JILL TOWNSLEY Spoon and Glove Art April 12, 2008 The first picture, of Jill Townsley's wor...
