Art Trip

I really enjoyed the trip to the museums, I found that I was most interested in natural history than anything else and was really fascinated about the different dinosaurs and insects they had. I didn't find much i was interested in in the Ashmolean  museum so i was quite disappointed about going there.

The trip made me think about who i am and what i'm interested in and I've found i'm definitely more interested in animals than anything else. I also realised i'm interested in insects and shells which i didn't know before.

Photos

I took this photo because of the pattern on the peacock's feathers.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed looking at all the different insects. I think it could be interesting to draw some of them as they all have a lot of varying textures.

This was one of my favourite photos (Minus the small child)
I think the textures of the scales and the teeth could be useful in future drawings. 

The dinosaurs were by far my favourite part of the trip, I've loved dinosaurs from a very young age and have never really had a chance to see what they might look like in person.

I thought these four photos had really interesting textures that i could use.

This is the shell of a Giant African Land Snail, I used to own one as a pet and it surprised me to find a shell of one in the museum. I also thought it was really interesting how this shell looks very different from the snail i owned.

All of the different types of shells interested me, I really liked how they had different patterns and textures and how the were all different shapes.

I found a collection of old saddles, this really interested me as i am a horse rider and it was cool to see how the saddle has evolved.

There was some jewelry that I found that used natural objects like shells, jewelry doesn't interest me but some of the things that were used for jewelry I thought was quite creative.

 My Drawings

I don't like how this drawing turned out. This is the only one where i drew from a photo and not from real life so i couldn't see all the detail i needed.

I drew this because of the interesting pattern on it.

My two favourite drawings are these shells, I think this is because these were the things i found the most interesting.

I drew this because of the shape and although its far from perfect, it was still an interesting thing to draw.

This was one of the things that interested me most from the Pitt Rivers part of the museum. I think this is because it looks like and elephant.
