DAY TWO - LIVERPOOL TATE GALLERY

Second day of the brand new course and we are already out, experiencing new things that surely inspired me if not all of my fellow class mates.We set off on our first trip of the course to Liverpool Tate Gallery where there were three artist's exhibitions (Turner, Monet and Twombly), which took only half an hour train ride. Even though I love paintings and art in general, I was quite negative towards spending so much time looking at one painting at a time. But now that I am reflecting back from the trip, I have realised that I haven't experienced an artist's painting truly before now. Usually I would have a quick glance at a painting and move on to the next one, however this trip taught me that you don't appreciate all the effort that has gone into those painting unless you look at every inch of the painting. It was also an eye-opener at how much art plays a big part in the design world.
