Trip to the Manchester art gallery!

On the 28th September 2016 all of the year two students headed out to the Manchester art gallery to go and see the Vogue exhibition, during this trip we were told to find a piece of art that we didn't like and then write a critical analysis piece on it, however during this trip a few of us thought that the art gallery would be an AMAZING venue for our showcase. We went down to the reception in order to see if we could speak to someone about the possibilities of hiring the gallery, we managed to speak to one of the events team and they were able to tell us information about what areas we could hire out, unfortunately one of areas which was the lecture room was in use when we were there so we couldn't have a look. I picked up some leaflets which you can see below. However due to the costings of the hire we decided that we wouldn't be able to afford it.

Another brilliant thing that came from this trip is that we all took inspiration from one of the pieces that was in the Vogue exhibition. It was a looped video which was projected onto two walls however the third wall was a mirror so when you stepped into the area you were surround by the projection which looked truly amazing!We will be taking inspiration from this for showcase,we also found a room that had a timeline of the the history of vogue and this is something we have took inspiration from as well and will be recreating for our showcase. I have linked a video below of the looped projection for you to have a visual.

Before second semester had started we had already spoken to the year ones where we spoke about the ideas we had already had for our concepts so we wanted to know if they were interested in being apart of our concepts, during this meeting they seemed very interested in our ideas.


Let me know what you think of our ideas and please make sure to follow this blog so you can keep up to date with the planning of showcase 2017!!!
speak soon,

  1. What a great introduction to the module!!

    Be mindful of your grammar and spelling.... proof read.

    Wonderful use of images to express and convey your ideas to the reader and enables them to fully grasp your thought process.
