The Trafford Centre
The first place I had in mind to visit is the Trafford Centre, mainly because it is a familiar place that I have been to before that has really stunning architecture both inside and out. And it is a place where I always end up having a good time at, so therefore brings back lots of good memories. What interests me about the building is the construction of the inside of The Trafford Centre, which is all marble. There are lots of pillars, and archaic looking statues and fountains and I hope to roughly thumbnail these out while I am there as opposed to drawing them on the spot. This is because The Trafford Centre is an EXTREMELY busy place and the experience of going there during the Christmas time, although is very atmospheric, is also at the same time, very intense. So I would probably find it difficult to just stand and draw whilst knowing I would be in everyone's way.
In terms of the media that I am going to use, I hope to have a large variety. I think that The Trafford Centre is a very lively place and therefore I hope to incorporate lots of colour, but I also hope to incorporate an architecture-like style, which is quick to do and also looks quite effective. I just generally hope to capture the essence of the place because it is really grande and a really memorable place, so I hope I don't disappoint.
Also, everything in The Trafford Centre is circular. From the convex ceiling to the patterns on the floor, everything is smooth and round. This could be an interesting element to incorporate in a storytelling narrative, but also would be good as a mis-en-scene aspect.
