Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but I will be blogging a lot now. So today me, my mum, kia, Jody, nana and hermione all went to the Lowry to go see the fairy tales and folklore exhibition and it was brilliant. We started of by looking at the L.S Lowry exhibition which was brilliant. Lowry's artwork was really good but, his work was very different to artists back then. His paintings and drawings were quite gloomy and sad at times and most of his paintings were just things he just saw throughout his day to day life. Then we went on to look at the fairy tales and folklore exhibition. This paintings there were amazing. Nowadays most the fairy tales we see are made to look pretty and beautiful but, back then the fairy tales were quite Grimm at times. For example in the little red riding hood Disney film it's really pretty and sunny however, in the original story the woods is dark and scary.
Here's some pictures from today
