Trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Yesterday we visited Yorkshire Sculpture park for a day out. What an absolutely beautiful place the park is huge with very well tended greenland all around. The architecture of some of the buildings was so grand both the new and the old. This made me really want to use some architecture as inspiration for my symbol. These are a series of images I took while visiting. One space I really liked was at the end of a exhibition, with bean bags, free tea, tables with books that inspired the exhibition and a video explaining the concept behind the exhibition. From this trip I learn that not all inspiration has to come from gallery's or museum's it can come from anything in everyday life. Overall a great trip and very helpful.

It looks at print and compares it to digital in a positive light reminding us of all the great aspects of print. I will use this within my essay. anayalsis
