Scottish National Gallery Of Modern Art.


On Monday our art and design class went to see the Scottish national gallery in Edinburgh to look at it's art works. I liked some of the art works in the gallery but not all. The works I likes best were Part Objects "Give or take" 2002 by Louise Bourgiois 
"A yellow Sun" 1992 by Jon Schueler 

The sculpture work "Give or take" 2002 by Louise Bourgiois I thought was great as there was so much work in to her incredible sculptures. The silver plate hand I really enjoyed looking at as the silver links in to one with two hands which I found very effective and clever.  I enjoyed the part objects by Louise Bourgiois her work was very like able  and intereeging. 


"A yellow Sun" 1992 by Jon Schueler I think was a beautiful pice of art work I loved everything about this oil in canvas. The way it captured the dramatic shifting skies and the sun shinning brightly through the colours of clouds. I was lost for a moment looking all all the colours in this wonderfully oil painting. It was defiantly my favorite part of the gallery.
