Mini-Review: Library of Birmingham: Reference Works
My favourites were the portraits, because I thought they told me a lot more and were just more interesting to look at than the landscape shots. I thought that they said a lot more about people in Birmingham and what the new library would do for the city than, say, a picture of the building as it was being built.

Stuart Griffiths: Closer at MAC Birmingham
On the 11th of November 2013, I went to see a photography exhibition at the MAC Birmingham, called Closer (by Stuart Griffiths).
Although at some points I felt like some text would have been needed, the fact that none of the photographs had descriptions or even names had a huge emphasis in itself; you could clearly see what was happening and then interpret it for yourself.
Overall, this exhibition was thought-provoking, and the insight I got towards war was phenomenal. I definitely couldn't have got that from a news report or a school textbook; and that, for me, was amazing.
You can see a video of my group talking about the exhibition HERE

Fun With Cancer Exhibition at MAC Birmingham
Even though the exhibition isn’t made up of beautiful artwork or particular photographs, the emotions and insight into how cancer feels is intriguing, thought-provoking and makes the exhibition really interesting to look at.

Welcome!
Welcome! My name is Charli and I'm working towards my Silver Arts Award. This blog will contain reviews of various arts events I have attended.
I run a book blog, To Another World which you can view here.
I also run a blog concerning law, politics and a justice campaign I'm working with here.
Here's my bio, so you can see some more about me...
I'm Charli, and I'm a bookworm, writer, photographer, Potterhead, Initiate,
Tribute and Scriptette. I have a fetish for sticky notes and prefer to revise,
read and blog to music (which naturally isn't allowed at school). I'm also a
Scout, tomboy and I fail at sewing! I haven't worn jeans since I was 7 and I'm
almost always seen in a pair of chinos and a hoodie.
I may as well live in my public library, or my school one, I'm not fussed! My favourite subjects are English, History and RE, even though I'm not religious.
My favourite authors are Sophie McKenzie, John Green, Holly Smale, Michael Grant, Sarah Crossan, Cat Clarke, Ally Condie, Janet Edwards, Amy Good, Cathy Cassidy, Meg Cabot, Cathy Hopkins and Veronica Roth! I like most genres, but my favourites are dystopia, contemporary, YA, teen and fantasy.

My heart and soul is creativity. Whether that be writing, reading,
photography, blogging or music, I love them all. I've always been a
creative person, and that's the way it should stay, I hope...
So, welcome to How Charli Sees Art. I hope you like it!
