Art Project course gallery No. 16
Art Project: Hats Off To You
This week’s brief centred around hats and their wearers…
Artists have responded to hats in a number of ways – from depicting them as essential parts of uniform or armour, a symbol of regal or spiritual power or indication of social class and current taste. Hats can alter the shape of the face and head and affect how much light is being cast on the wearer – subsequently some artworks focus on the obscuring and abstracting abilities of a hat or headgear. Artists could also respond to the form of a hat, the parts that make up the hat, positive and negative shapes that you can see or a hat’s construction / deconstruction or marks, colours and textures found in the materials and textures that make up a hat…
Here’s a selection of artwork and prepatory studies made by some of the Art Project course artists taking part in the project.
Look out for another gallery of work coming soon…
