Field Trip
Society of Illustrators was an experience to learn more about art and specially illustrator. Many art work was shown from the early years. There was a red wall where everything famous work is hanged to be talked about. There was harry potter poster painted so cleanly. Many president’s pictures were hanged on the wall as you go upstairs. It was delight experience to know about art and the place.
On one floor, they had a café and Rick’s work hanged around the walls to look at. They change it after 6 weeks, so it doesn’t get boring. They have place for people to sit and talk about artwork and have a good time. Top floor was all about artwork that are still so famous today and talking about the work and how it is done. All floors had different works of illustration, posters and paintings. Many works had a story to tell about the time it was made in. They had shop where you can buy all of things related to artwork.
They also had basement where artwork was there too. A lot of rare art and very explicit work they had. The illustration work was from the 1800s and many have funny illustrations. It was an experience that I never had of illustration. The building itself is very old and holds a lot of importance to the artwork. They keep a contest where they choose student according to the work that they submit.
