the t:mac Art Show 2009

the diploma group went to look at the t:mac art show 2009. it consisted of the GCSE and A level art work.

my first impressions of the show was extremely busy, packed full of bright colours and tactile materials that draws you in.

the displays were well thought out and attractive. With clear and organised layouts that complimented the art work and enhanced the quality.

it was a good set up and use of the room, the art work was everywhere you looked: on screens, on the floor, on the walls and on tables. On all levels!

magnificent work, for all the students to be very proud of!

the creators showed their gradual ideas and the development they used to work and build up to the final piece of work.

there was so much to look at as the exhibition displayed many different pieces with different inspirations and different and unique artists. There was a great variety and a wide range of art with amazing examples of photography, fine art, 3D models, collages and textiles, graphic design and sketchbooks.

the effort put in by the students was evident and it was reflected in the quality of the work.

a couple of the pieces that i really liked and interested a lot of people, were made up of mushrooms and trees. the student had used photographs of the subject, adapted it on the computer to their specific style. This style was based upon the artist Tado, whose ideas they used to create bold and cartoon like designs.

my eye was caught by a sketchbook that i thought was original, on further investigation I realised it was personal to that creator, as were many of the works. it had an underlying theme on all pages, which was music. It was used creatively and used sections and lines to create their effective ideas.

after viewing the exhibition i realised the amount of work, time, effort and preparation that is needed to create such an inspiring show.

Overall a very pleasing and impressive exhibition, that looked very professional with things for everyone to enjoy looking at.
