Wollerton Hall / Lakeside Exhibition





Yesterday our class took a trip to Wollerton Hall, and to an art exhibition in Lakeside. The exhibition shown at Lakeside was very relevant to our 'identity' project brief. Showing some very different art styles mainly composed from photographs and video.

Some aspects of the art involved i
n the
exhibition posed some very strong inspiration towards my ideas of my final outcome, including looking at how the photographs were taken, or the textures and materials used such as fur or hair.

Afterwards we headed to Wollerton hall. At Wollerton hall there were many stuffed animals that could be photographed, alongside some interesting architecture and textures within the building itself, even some of the old furniture dotted around various room could be used by classmates that may be using a power animal that holds regal, no
ble or intelligent properties.


Through my visit i did not find much i could use to relate to a Jaguar, although i did find some animals that each have traits that could be similar to that of a Jaguar such as a
wild dog, a lion and a hyena. I chose the Wild Dog because of it's fearsome appearance, the lion because it is feline like the Jaguar, and in many ways similar in nature, and finally the Hyena, due to it's cunning nature and sly tactics to catch it's prey.
