For my personal investigation there were a few genres that I
wanted to look at. Those being: Expressionism; Post-Impression; and Abstract. I
chose these because I personally prefer these styles of art to more realistic
artwork as I feel as you are freer to express yourself with the marks and colours
that you choose to use. Expressionism actually developed from
Post-Impressionism which was the style used around the late 19th
century/early 20th century. Post-impressionist art was created to
react against impressionist artwork by exploring lines, colour and form as well
as the emotional response of the artist which was the particular aspect that
led the Expressionism movement in the early 20th century.

London
I went to London to visit the National Art Gallery and the Tate Modern Gallery.
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.
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.
