During the first week at uni here in Leeds i visited the Henry Moore institute and the Leeds art gallery these places has so good exhibitions on. Within the Henry Moore institute it had one piece that was really exciting. They had fans all around the room and had 15+ big shiny silver balloons which looked like pillows. When having the fans on it made them all move round the room and made the exhibition an interactive place which i really liked. within the art gallery they had a large amount of statue figures and sculptures on displace one that i liked most was a sculpture that was made of tubes and looked like seat. 


Leeds orienteering task

During the walk round Leeds i noticed a large amount of owls which i then found out were the city symbol for Leeds.

This is some drawings i have produced from the canal and then also one of the buildings within Leeds.
More drawings from the walk of a bridge over the canal and then the corn exchange which had given me a lot of inspiration with is historical features.

By the war memorial there is a box full of these crosses with hand written messages from loved ones of the soldiers that dies i found this really heart warming and felt that i was lucky that i haven't had to loose anyone to the war.

Doing this task around Leeds was helpful not only within getting inspired for the upcoming project it also helped to get me to no the area a bit better. i have now found some lovely places to go and do many more drawings at for future projects.
