CIC live brief

OUTLINE welcomed the Computing Department of Birmingham Metropolitan College to view students work for the re-branding of their department as CIC -Computer Innovation Centre- they were impressed with the results and chose 6 designs for development and use in the interior of their computer suites, entrance, and stairwell. Designs for the new logo for external advertising and marketing were also chosen. A great success and opportunity for our hard working students with some strong ideas and innovative designs!

The use of "live" briefs is a crucial part of the work at OUTLINE giving students experience of presenting ideas to external clients in formal presentations.

 

Experimental Drawing Workshop

Programme manager Ian Andrews delivered the regular experimental drawing workshop "Project in a night." This year it attracted a record number of participants with over 30 students volunteering for a two-hour evening session. As in previous workshops the emphasis was on the development of ideas under extreme time pressure.

OUTLINE encourages all students to participate and a wide range of different levels attended from first year subsidiary diploma, AS/A2 art to HND Fine art. These workshops create a space/arena in which students can operate outside the criteria of normal projects, where anything can happen and  experimental discoveries can be made.

“FEED” Evening with visiting artist Saranjit Birdi.

OUTLINE welcomed  former student Saranjit Birdi to the first FEED evening of 2013/2014. Saranjit spoke about his varied practice as an Architect, Choreographer, Theatre Designer and his work on Public Art Commissions.  His fusion of drawing and dance was of particular interest to the OUTLINE initiative.

At the end of his talk he demonstrated his drawing abilities with different parts of his anatomy! Making a portrait of Programme Manager Ian Andrews in 10 minutes using his feet!

Then it was “socks off” for those  willing to have a go themselves!
