The unexpected

Unexpected Find

Alongside a bridge these bold murals appeared, they were so obsure in placement and theme. The colours were bright and expressive as were the images them selves.

Inspiration

The contrast of the artwork against the grey was so strikingly, I found this unusual misture of print as such agasint the mat dull concrete inspiring

Graffiti

Inspiration from Graffiti

Graffiti as descirbed in the dictionary 'is writing or

drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or

sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place'

Graffiti is found every where from obscure alleyways,

to front doors.It is over the top, out of place, bright,

garish, full of character, unique, bizzare, atypical..... I feel it

is relavant because to be eccentric means many of these

characterisitcs I have used to describe graffiti.

At an attempt to begin deveopling a colour pallet, I zoomed in on areas of colour that naturally appeared through the collection of images. So far I am most attracted to the bright intense clashing colours and prints.

Mood Board - Division

Spliting the boards into two

We have decided to split the images into two groups to show eccentricity does not always have to mean bright bold garish colours patterns and art - but that it can also express meanings of personality, representation of art through mark making, groups of people who are/were eccentric; The Beat Generation, Andy Warhol...
