Arrived in London on 31th October, gathered up with the group. The first stop was The Horse Hospital, with very small gallery of ‘Alien Puma Space Train: The Visionary Work of Daniel S. Christiansen’. Looked at Daniel’s drawings was a bit confused at first, soon then when I noticed quite faded with drawing of underground train, though it was mentioned ‘Alien Puma Space Train’. Viewed these drawings and tried to understand his concepts and culture combined. My thoughts of his drawings are like an Egyptian style, as there are human with wings. But I was distracted away from understanding of his drawing and was interesting of how the wings are perfect match to real birds’ that I was tried draw of.   Moving on to the next stop of University of the Arts London, London College of Communication Elephant and Castle, a huge corridor gallery of ‘50 Years of Illustration’. Looked at the illustrations from each decade, with different styles. An interesting description about the ...

It's really devastating and overwhelming, the recovering will come soon...

I was very interested when I saw coloured arrows on the walls and giant arrows mobile hanging from the ceiling. Then I saw the colourful in Graphics gallery that were very eye-catching. The first displays that interested me was Jules Juliens’ works, I like all of his displays because it’s like very feminine to me and looks interesting.     Then ‘Zara Wood aka Woody’ displays, its also very feminine and very simple drawing.       To Jessica Hische’s display, its very feminine I like the way flowers flow and its link to the letters. The colours are complementary. Clara Terne’s display is vague and abstract. The title is The Intangible. Its looks like she draw with music. Qwenola Carrere’s displays are quite bold with primary colours and it’s like a...
