Sheffield Art Galleries.

Before half term on the 18th October, the Graphic design and Interactive media groups visited two Art Galleries in Sheffield. The first was 'Restless Times: Art in Britain 1914 - 1945' The museum displayed a variety of work from many artists based on the impact of war. We were told to take a look around and gather some information on the artists we like, also sketching some of the artists work.


The first image i sketched was an image by Alan Rogers' original - Speed Underground:

This image was used as part of a campaign to restore interest in the London Underground system. I chose to sketch this image as it was very eye catching and simple.

Here is the image i sketched myself, i think the image is a good sketch as it shows exactly what the image is of, although i would of payed more attention to detail if i could redo this piece of work.




After attending the restless times exhibition we visited a nearby gallery with the work of Abram Games. I enjoyed looking at his work as it was appealing and extraordinary, most of his work i believe was based around safety and advertisement. Abrams work was very eye catching and i found it interesting to sketch as some of the drawings i thought were extremely simple were actually quite detailed and i had to take more time to complete these.

Here are some of his images i found most interesting:

Here are some of his images i sketched myself:

Unfortunately compared with Abram's own work my sketches are of a very poor quality. If i had a chance to go back to the museum to re-sketch these images and take a better look into abram's techniques i would definitely take the oppurtunity.
