In the summer I went to London to visit the National Art Gallery and the Tate Modern Gallery. My direction for my Personal Investigation was to look at Expressionism and Figurative art however I did not find much of it in London when I went. There were other paintings that I was inspired by that were not all related to my theme which were mainly of nature. The main reason I went to the London gallery was because I had done some research and found that one of my main artists who I was planning on looking at had a piece there so I decided to go and see it in person.

Cenotaph to the Memory of Sir
Joshua Reynolds - John Constable |

| Water-Lilies, Setting Sun - Claude Monet |
There were not many figurative pieces that I felt inspired by or that I really liked. I saw some pieces from some of my favourite artists such as Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Monet which I really enjoyed looking at. There were also some other artists that I found whose paintings and artwork I liked such as George Shaw, L.A. Ring, Edgar Degas and Odilon Redon. I felt as though the National Art Gallery didn't have a lot of artwork that was relevant to my theme and what I want to look at for my theme as a lot of the artwork was very old from around the 12th/13th Century.

| Bathers (Les Grandes Baigneuses) - Paul Cezanne |
There was an exhibition on at the National Art Gallery for George Shaw called My Back To Nature. I really liked the style in which he had done his paintings, and there were also some figure sketches on paper he had done that were on display which I really liked.
