I was watching an art journal seminar the other day and the teacher said that they made their own collage papers from photographs they took in their home town of things like wires, architecture etc. This prompted me to take a walk around the city and look for interesting patterns, architecture or anything which caught my eye. I thought I would share some of the photos I took.
This is just outside in the street. I like all the lines.
Here it is in black and white. I can also crop the images further if I want just a small part of the image.
The decorated arch from a medieval building on the High Street.
Lovely statues on an arch in the High Street.
I think they represent the Annunciation.
Looking up is important and I noticed the columns on the window surround.
Another doorway on an ancient building.
Looking down resulted in some interesting patterns too.
I like the different patterns made by the different materials.
A very beautiful timber framed building.
The Cathedral to finish this part. The front has been cleaned over the last few years and it does look very beautiful in the honey-coloured stone. There are patterns galore here! The rest of the walk to follow in the next post.
