A2 and Diploma Exhibition Review

Today, i went to see the exhibition from the A2 and Diploma work at Long Road.
The year 13 work, is completely different from the year 12 work, the work from the year 13 look much professional than year 12, it is understandable, because year 13 had the whole year 1 and 2 to learn different techniques, along those 2 years.
The year 13's work look much detailed as well, it seems like they have became much responsible in year 2, their work shows a different understanding and exploration, they used artist researches better, than us year 1.
I mean by this, that every single research some students did, they used the information really well on their final pieces, not just small pieces like stitch or collages, ideas from it, but the way other artist composed their work, what they used for it, how they made the work, what techniques used, and year 13 work follows much more their research, than year 12.
All of the different students work, was really pleasing to see it, loads of different ideas, put well together and every single work is just amazing.

The two students whose work i am interested in, is Holly Sondhi and Joanna Hammond, and those are situated in room F12.
I have chosen these two examples, because both students looked and explored in depth textiles and that is what i want to do in the year 2. I really like how they looked at Natural Forms from inspiration but they made beautiful garments from small ideas.





The next task was to look at different sketchbooks and list names of artist/designers that i would like to explore further.
-Alexander McQueen
-Christian Lacroix
-Julie Shackson
-James Russell Cant
-David Bailey
-Jean Paul Gaultier
-Erika Iris



The students used the artist researches that they did really well, i can see all the evidences through out the sketchbook all written, every single process, what ideas are they using, composition, how they're using, they made little experimenting samples to indicate what it would look like then a final piece to back up, all the research.

The student i picked, from outside of my specialist, was a student called Imogen Dungate, whose work i really liked.



The student chose, to explore mix media, compose mix media with pictures, books pages and other found elements. Really like her work too, around of her work theres leafs everywhere on the floor.
It was really nice to see another specialist apart from textiles, i think the idea of a "open" clean,new door is really imaginative, and where the other side says "closed" and it all dark, scary, the final work was very progressive. 

The Themes i would like to explore, in year two is Textiles, and Photography if possible.

The first task i had to do, to open the new brief "Public art" was to go into Cambridge City Centre and go around, take pictures of Public Art Sculptures. The first public art sculpture i took a picture of, was one called "Between the Lines 2007" by Peter Randall-Page. Carved from granite glacial boulder. The sculpture is just situated at Fisher Square,off Corn Exchange Street. Anew piece of public Art sited adjacent to the Grand Arcade. In 2009, Peter Randall- Page had a major retrospective exhibition at the yorkshire Sculpture Park whose website carries information about his work. The Public Art Sculpture that i went to, was "Talos 1950" by Michael Ayrton. The public piece is Bronze. And its situated in Guildhall Street. Talos is the legendary guardian of Minoan Crete. He was the giant man of Bronze who protected Europa in Crete. By depicting him without arms, Michael Ayrton portrays the anger and bewilderment felt by many of the post-war gen...

Eco Artists. Artists using recycled materials AURORA ROBSON - Sculptures using cut up plastic bottles and other discarded plastic.   MIWA KOIZUMI - uses a combination of cutting and heating plastic bottles to create stunning aquatic creatures.  Both artists who similar techniques within their work, the similarities between the two artists is that, they're Eco artists, they use recycled materials, which is plastic, they cut up to make different forms in they' re work. The difference about Aurora and Miwa is that, Aurora makes sculptures and Miwa makes aquatic creatures, also she heats up the plastic bottles and Aurora only cuts them. I like how Aurora makes the sculptures by cutting old plastic, and i like how Miwa uses the technique of heating up, the plastic starts to melt and it makes various forms which i like the idea.     JILL TOWNSLEY Spoon and Glove Art April 12, 2008 The first picture, of Jill Townsley's wor...
