Chesterfield College Art and Design exhibition

Chesterfield College Art and Design exhibition 

Every year chesterfield college put on an art and design exhibition displaying the work of second year and foundation art and design students. It shows everything from fashion , textiles, illustration, graphics,fine art, applied arts and photography .

 Here is what the main exhibition from above 

 I really like the tie dye colours in the garment

 I like the use of different materials in this garment 

 I liked how both these garments (above and below) have distressed unfinished hems and edges 

 This is my favourite piece from the exhibition, I really liked all the different textures, colours and patterns , I also think that the concept is very unusual and nothing that I've seen before.

Loughborough University

Loughborough University Art and Design exhibition 

As part of unit 10 I visited Loughborough University with college. We were able to look round the campus and visit the art and design exhibition. I really enjoyed looking round and seeing other students work. I particularly liked textiles: Innervations and Design, I really all the different prints and designs. However I feel that the university was a bit out on the limb and secluded and maybe not for me in that aspect. Loughborough is famously known for its sporting achievements and  is a campus university.  

Here is some pictures of work that I liked when looking round the art and design exhibition.

 I like how symmetry is used in this painting to create a pattern 

 I think the pattern on this garments are stunning 

  I like how they have taken a small pattern design and repeated it (pattern repeat) to create a wall paper.  

Manchester Metropolitan

Today I went off to Manchester Metropolitan University with college to visit the exhibition which shows the work of final year art and design students from Manchester School of Art.

Manchester Metropolitan University is the largest campus-based undergraduate university in the UK with a total student population of more than 37,000. Manchester claims to be the University for World Class professionals with an emphasis on vocational education and employability.

Here are the pictures I’ve taken of my favorite works.

I really like the use of thread

I really like how detailed and intricate his work was, and the materials he has used to create the overall effect.  I also think the way he has displayed and put together is work was really good. I managed to speak with the student who created this work. I asked him where he got his inspiration from, and he replied with;

‘I often get inspiration from collecting ruined or destroyed objects and creating something new out of them'

I like how she has used continuous line with stitch and ink in her work, I like the overall.  

After seeing how collage and paint can be combined together it has given me inspiration to try this out in my work and experiment with different materials
