Dear diary my date at The Museum of London was very
interesting there was a number exhibitions presenting different periods in the
history of London from before the Roman’s came to the landscape, the Medieval
period, London from the 1950’s – 2000’s to modern day London. The exhibits
presented a number of objects, artefacts, paintings and busts produced and used
during the different time periods. The museum presented each exhibited by order
from the London before London exhibit being the first exhibit by the entrance and
London today being the last.
The museum had a range of objects which I produced a number
of sketches off, but throughout the day I found it difficult to find objects
which I felt were interesting, could produce a good drawing from and develop
the drawing of the object further into a 3D piece. I also found it difficult to
select objects to draw because normally when I sketch within museums they are
of sculptures, paintings or other forms of art work. The change in chosen
subjects and themes was difficult to adjust too. I also noted down information
about the exhibits the objects I drew where in and for some of the objects I
added a little detail about them. I also took a number of pictures of the
objects within the museum.
Overall I found the experience dull as the theme of the
museum and exhibits were boring and not artistic like I’m used to. Going to the
museum was a new experience as I had never been to the museum before or to a
museum which does not truly focus around the theme of art in most of the exhibits
for a while. I hopefully will not be going on another date any time soon.
For this diary entry I again based it around my overall experience, ideas for recording my overall experience, and ideas of developing the project further with my illustrations. I also recorded my opinion about my visit.
