Hamleys Toy Shop...
... is my fourth choice in my research to expand my contextual horizons. I have never before been to Hamley's so I don't know exactly what to expect or what to actually gain from the experience. However, hearing from those experienced in this toy store department I am rather excited! I've been told so many great things about this place that I wish I could just go there now as I am speaking, well writing. Although Hamleys is a toy shop and may seem a bit of a doss, I feel that visiting this place will be an asset to my practice. With masses of toys, games, sweets and all that children dream about this could be of great advantage to gaining experience in both the illustration and also graphic designers field. I could get some great observational work done here, whether that would be photography or be it drawing. I don't just aim to stare at all this marvel, but I also wish to play with products, taste sweets and even possibly talk to some of the staff that work there, so that my experience of the place is as great as it can be. I want this trip to be able to open my mind up to that of a child so that I can then use it within my practice and further my thoughts when creating artwork or even when time comes to reflect. London is not too far, and is within a 2 hour train journey. I will be making a whole day of this trip, with Hamleys as my only destination within London, so Big Ben will have to wait. Photos and a review and reflection of my trip will be posted once I return from this fabulous adventure. Its like I'm a kid again!
