When going to Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP), the weekly theme was fringes and edges, which was good to take into consideration when going round the park as there were plenty of cases of fringes and edges. For example, the man made structures have been effected by the natural elements because of their location. This means they have been, in some cases, worn and also have leaves that have fallen off trees on them. As well as this, there is a big contrast between the vibrant and harsh colours of some of the sculptures and the warm autumn surroundings. This demonstrates fringes and edges well.
I did admire some of the sculptures, such as the one in the image above. Although it did not directly fit with my project and I struggled to link it with my studies, I admired it and thought it was interesting.
This instillation was also one of my favourites throughout the day and I thought it was the one most relevant to graphic design because of the typography and colours. It read 'Art Makes Children Powerful' although this was hard to read when looking at it from any angle. I think the piece looks especially good against the duller colours of the leaves, grass and trees, which is again an example of nature combining with something man made.
Whilst I was at YSP, I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some images of natural framing which would coincide with my current studio project. It was my next step to take some images of natural framing and I found some great examples to include in my primary research section. I found it a beneficial trip and I got some great primary research as well as being able to look at some other forms of art and getting inspiration.
