In todays lesson we have been set a task to do our own photo shoot, in pairs for the brand we have chosen for Topshop which is the Tall section. We had also made our own customer profiles for the customer we are focusing on and so we can get to know our customers on a more personal level and see what they're looking for in store.

The Baltic Art Gallery:

The Baltic Art Gallery stands out to me as when we entered the room there were square canvases placed separately around the walls and also on their own standing in various places on the floor. They were in colours such as white, cream, black (neutral colours) which were very dull. In addition to this in the middle of the floor was a funny shaped long pole on it’s own, this artwork was by Lydia Gifford. The artwork made me feel quite empty inside as it was just simple and dull which gave a cold feeling vibe. The canvases were on it’s own which had also made me feel of how some people could feel themselves isolated from others. One canvas was on a slant which was unusual to see. The next room we went in was a square room theme, as soon as you walked in you see a huge landscape striped wall were lit up. I had never seen this in a Art Gallery before. Not only were there stripes but also five small squares on another wall which were also lit up very minimalistic but made an impact in the room. The next room was very colourful it had 3D squares coming from the walls, on one side of the wall it had 4 huge bright coloured squares, the other walls each had one piece of artwork on which were only one coloured squares. This had reminded me of the 60’s era with the bright colours and the monochrome affect. There was also a room which had unusual photographs on the wall of people holding little models which would have represented something. Boxes were placed around the room which had little models in the Alice in Wonderland theme which reminded me of childhood; it also looked like the models were inspired by actors in films. The last room we entered was full of big square mirrors which were placed all over the floor facing upwards towards the ceiling which were reflecting from the rainbow coloured ceiling. This reminded me if a church with the colourful windows and the detail that was going on.
