Utopia is someones idea of a perfect place and Dystopia is the opposite being the worst place.

The Great Wave

The great wave was created was published between 1830 and 1833, it's a woodblock print by a japanese artist named Hokusai. It's shows a huge wave attacking fisherman in the sea, it also shows mount fuji in the background, which appears in alot of japanese artwork especially woodblock print. Hokusai created a series of images called 'Thirty-six Views of Fuji Mountain' and the great wave was the first addition to this collection. Due to the popularity of the collection, ten more pieces were added after the original publication.

Periodo Azul

Periodo Azul translates as 'The Blue Period'. Pablo Picasso started to paint his pictures in blue after the suicide of his friend, Carlos Casagemas. He would paint doleful monochromatic paintings. The period was between 1901 and 1904, he said 'I started to paint in blue when i heard of Casagemas's death'  I like the paintings in the blue period because they give off the sadness of the picture with the colour and then the image itself has an element of sadness.
