Artist: Grayson Perry Artwork: Barbaric Splendour Date: 12/01/10 Analysing Grayson Perry’s Artwork I selected this piece of artwork because of the contrast of the bright and dark colours, which make it interesting. The artwork makes me feel happy from a distance by sad as I actually analyse what’s going on, on the pot. I think it creates a dull and gloomy atmosphere On the artwork you can see a gloomy place with boys and flowers, I think it represents death, I don’t think it says anything about the time or place but the artwork does look a bit old fashioned. I think it perhaps may tell a story of death. The artwork is an oval shape with a lid; I think they are both made from clay. Clay is the best material to use when making a pot. The colour defines the art theme.

On the artwork you can see a gloomy place with boys and flowers, I think it represents death, I don’t think it says anything about the time or place but the artwork does look a bit old fashioned. I think it perhaps may tell a story of death.

The artwork is an oval shape with a lid; I think they are both made from clay. Clay is the best material to use when making a pot. The colour defines the art theme.

I think the artwork is very successful of representing death and sadness by the use of dull colours and a sad boy. As I have made my pot based on my lively personality, it clashes with this artwork because this pot is based on death.
