INISPIRATION & EXPRESSION IN ART AND ARCHITECTURE


Knowing what inspires ones artistict endevours can be a very informative investigation. It is one thing to appreciate a peice of art or a building for its appearance on the surface and not know what is the driving force behind what it is. Artists are inspired by there surroundings at all levels of composition, whether it is a composition of graffiti on a wall, Gaudi's Sagrada Familia or Gerhy's Fish. Just being emersed in new culture and visiting impressive pieces of archtecture has inspired me architecturally and artisticly. I look forward to investigating different forms of expression around the city and understanding where it comes from and/or its implication on the urban fabric it comes from.
