For an art trip, we went to see Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. I found that museum very unusual and quite odd, mainly because I didn't expect to see so many items and artwork, from different countries and cultures of the world, in one place.
Here are some photographs I took there;
Although blades, swords and weapons are not really related to my theme, I really found them interesting, because back years ago, people used to create such unique swords etc. each crafted with individual details and styles, making the weapon practically a piece of art.
When walking around the museum, I also realized that Chinese and Japanese ornaments, drawings etc. may be very useful for me, because over the week where I have done various experiments, I found Gael Stack my favorite. The main thing about Gael stack is, that she uses Chinese art in her artwork, whereas i haven't but possibly could.
This also grabbed my attention, mainly because it reminds me of Easter in Lithuania, where people boil eggs and then decorate them either with paint, or natural materials, like onions, herbs etc. Then they have a game, where each person picks there egg and then everyone has to hit the tops and bottoms of the eggs with other eggs, and the persons who's egg doesn't crack wins. It seems quite personal to me, because it reminds me of my culture and traditions.
