Ideas, Meanings and Materials- Arte Povera

Arte Povera was a revolutionary Art movement where artists deliberately used methods and materials that were unconventional. This assignment requires me to explore my surrounding environment for things I respond to through colour, texture or shape from which I then translate into seriously considered ideas using appropriate materials. In relevance to this project I have looked at artists such as Tom Friedman, Mario Merz, Ruth Broadbent, Joseph Cornell and David Mach.
