Visiting Cromer in Norfolk
Visiting Cromer in Norfolk we came across a wonderful creative initiative run by Cromer Artspace called "The Bigger Picture"
The Bigger Picture project shares 20 pieces of art that appear around the town, its aim to bring art to those who may not normally be able to access it, especially during lockdown when galleries were forced to close.
This was such a thrilling find and we enjoyed walking around the coastal town looking for the displays and taking photographs of the ones we could find along the way as we did not have a map or leaflet at the time showing locations.
On visiting a local restaurant we were also asked if we were here to see "the Banksy". This was a complete surprise our curiosity to seek and find on the beachfront tucked away was indeed a delightful but semi washed out work of art.
Sharing a photo of the original along with our captured moment nevertheless a wonderful end to the day of finding art all around us.
Banksy first got noticed for spray-painting trains and walls in his home city of Bristol during the early 1990s. Street art and graffiti can be considered criminal damage, so in the beginning it's thought the artist stayed anonymous to keep out of trouble.
Art All Around
Art provokes an emotion or reaction an essential way in which we perceive our world, which is unique and individual to everyone.
There is no such thing as bad art every aspect of humanity can be expressed through art and whilst you are not expected to like all art your choices are based on your perceptions, preferences, and how it makes you feel at any one time.
Does it provoke a reaction, how does it make you feel, what attracts you colour, shape, texture?
What about that piece do you not like?
What can you take away and learn from this?
Has it helped define your style?
The feeling art creates for you may spur thinking, ideas, engagement, and even action. It is known that many people are well aware of feeling motivated by a piece of artwork.
All kinds of art can affect our mood in a positive way, making us feel happier, calmer, or even inspired to do something.
