3rd Years Mini One Day Exhibition

A mini One Day Exhibition

As third years the work load goes through the roof. Along with that the pressures of putting on your own degree show is especially stressful. To try and compensate this, we at Staffordshire University Cartoon and Comic Arts, implemented a mini One Day Exhibition to allow students to get used to presenting their work. We encouraged the students to think outside the box with ideas about their work. We also build an bit of a spare wall for the students to display on. 

Ok, probably not the best spread in the world, but it went, and it encouraged students to come along and join in with the event, i was happy that a few Fine Art students who were working late in the studio also came and joined in the fun.  

 

 The initial aim was to get the students to hang what they thought was their best work from the first semester. This meant that they had to mount work and learn about putting it up. 

Having moved onto the Mezzanine in the old Fine Arts area, this gave us an opportunity to use the layout, which is primarily an exhibition space anyway.

We had a mock day where we laid out the work and had a bit of a party, to welcome back students straight after the Christmas break and a this also allowed students from various years a chance to work/talk/and interact with one another. 

Off the success of the exhibition, it was decided to hold a proper curated event in the Uni UniQube along College Road on Monday 19th February at 5.30pm 

So I look forward to telling you more about that when we start to put it together soon.
