The Coastal Landscape of Hartlepool: From Inspiration to Abstraction
Emma Smith, BA (Hons) Fine Art Level 6

Abstract 

​

Hailing from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Emma’s experience of the coastal landscape informs her experimental process-informed paintings.

 

In this article, Emma makes interconnections between the coastal landscapes of Scarborough and Hartlepool through large-scale vibrant and vivacious paintings that represent the thoughts, feelings and emotions found when immersed in the landscape.

 

Emma references her previous work, and the new in-situ painting ‘Shore’ she created in The Northern School of Art’s Student Union.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
