Art and text
Wrth ymchwilio mewn i deipography mewn celf, mi wnes i edrych ar nifer o lyfrau yn y llyfrgell. Roedd llawer o'r llyfrau yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am y symudiad celf 'Dada', ac yn rhoi gwybodaeth am nifer o ddylunwyr graffeg o hanes celf a rhai modern, yn cynnwys David Carson, Shepard Fairey, yn ogystal a Robert Rauchenberg, Andy Warhol a Kurt Schiwtters.
Jan Tschichold
Mi wnes i greu tudalennau yn fy llyfr ymchwil am Jan Tschichold, yn cofnodi'r gwybodaeth a oedd yn fy niddori fwyaf, yn ogystal a chreu darluniau fy hun o'i waith. Mi wnes i ganolbwyntio ar ei waith fel dylunydd y cloriau ar gyfer y llyfrau Penguin classics, mae hyn yn berthnasol i fy ngwaith, yn enwedig y prosiect creu llyfrau.
Kurt Schwitters
Mi wnes i benderfynu hefyd gwneud ymchwil ar yr artist Kurt Schwitters. Mae'n gysylltiedig i Jan Tschichold oherwydd i'r ddau weithio a'u gilydd a'r prosiect New typography. Roedd Schwitters yn rhan mawr o'r symudiad 'Dada', a oedd yn cwestiynu'r ffordd draddodiadol o wneud pethau mewn celf a theipograffeg, ac yn creu gwaith mwy arbrofol a gwahanol i'r arfer. Gallwn weld wrth edrych ar waith dylunwyr graffeg cynnar fel Schwitters, ddylanwad eu gwaith ar ddylunwyr graffeg modern, e.e. David Carson, pan mae'n dod i ddefnyddio fformat, neu diffyg fformat pan mae'n dod i ddefnyddio teip mewn darnau.

Jacqueline De Jong exhibition in Oriel Mostyn.
A visit to the Victoria and Albert museum on my trip to London.
The main purpose of our visit was to see the theatre and performance exhibition, which my Mum and I were both eager to see.
This section of the exhibition gave visitors an opportunity to explore lighting on these models of a Sweeney Todd set.

REFLECTION
We did our presentations on the 9th of December, and took up to 10 minutes each to do our presentations. The presentation went successfully, and I did mine bilingually. The reaction from my fellow students and tutor was that I included a lot of information and did thorough research into Holzer and her work. My non welsh speaking classmates also expressed that they were still able to follow and enjoy the presentation, as I made sure that the powerpoint and my notes provided plenty of English translations so that everyone could understand. I do feel that next time I could be more organised when it comes to being bilingual in the presentation, as this time I took a 'winging it' approach.
