Inner Workings
19 Feb - 2 March Foundation Diploma Art Design & Media Anteros Arts Foundation 11-15 Fye Bridge Street Norwich, NR3 1LJ Open 10am-4pm Tues – Sat This is an exhibition of work in progress by students from a Artpocket studying for an accredited Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. The work on display has been developed in response to a range of projects carried out across the year. Throughout the course students have explored a variety of ways of object and image making through textiles, print media, sculpture, drawing, painting and photography. They are encouraged to be innovative with their materials and consider their inherent qualities to help communicate their ideas more effectively, to develop their voice, their visual language. Students have been encouraged to use the briefs as a starting point from which to develop personal interpretations and challenge their pre-conceptions. They are supported throughout the creative process to take risks in their experimentation, explore ideas in a deep and meaningful way and consider how ideas are received within the public realm. |
