MIMA visit

Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art has work from many influential artists who changed the face of art into what it is today. Though I'm not always a fan of the works themselves, the processes, experimentation and thought behind them are very inspiring and worth appreciating. Hepworth's sculptures in particular were very beautiful. After sketching one of her pieces for five minutes, we then moved around it and drew it again from another angle. Then the sketches were exchanged so the final drawing was on top of someone else's. The picture below has the pencil work of my classmate Katie and my drawing in red over the top.
