Group workshop from the Booth museum exhibition :

As a part of this workshop I very much enjoyed the process of diving into calligraphy to represent the booth museum that I hadn’t done in a while and it reminded me of how much I missed doing it.

On a less positive note however, I would have wished to get more input from others on what they thought of our poster as a collective, as there were some things that I feel together we could have composed better.

The poster as a whole has a very abstract theme which I think made the Booth Museum seem more inviting than it can appear at first sight like I experienced due to it being an exhibition full of fake stuffed animals which look incredibly realistic.

The exhibition :

Overall, I quite enjoyed experiencing this museum’s exhibition which at first was smaller than I thought and was fairly hard to find for me as I’d never been to it before. Although, having to go into a place which I also thought would have more of a variety of animals at first glance than just different types of birds was fairly unnerving as I have a slight fear of them from past unpleasant experiences. Though, nonetheless the fact these were simply figures made to look realistic was something that made the experience less triggering and the whole old fashioned atmosphere was satisfying for someone like me who enjoys antique subject matters and being enfolded in that type of environment.

In addition, the most eye catching and inspiring things I took from this museum trip were some of the compositions the artists have chosen to represent the birds in and the sort of meaning you could depict from them as well as the glass artworks which I photographed.
