In the half term I visited a modern art gallery in Manchester and also the Lowry museum. There was a big difference between the modern art pieces and then Lowry's paintings which were done 1920+
Unfortunately I could not get any photos of Lowry's pieces however I got some photos from the modern art gallery.
These photos showed how ordinary objects can be interpreted and challenges the concept of art as forms of paintings. as you entered the room the question 'what is art' was wrote on the wall and explains that when is an ordinary object seen as art, is it when it is placed in an certain environment or way by an artist or when it is in its natural environment.
This room contained a plastic ball with pieces of charcoal attached too it, it was then encouraged that people moved the ball around the wall making the scratchy marks. This made me take another look on charcoal and made me like it more.
The last two images are from small video clips one focusing on the use of colour on natural and man made objects and the other showing movement of a body part.
