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.

Theatre Design Workshop with Saranjit Birdi.

OUTLINE students on the Theatre Arts Course and BMAPA  drama students worked together with visiting artist and theatre designer Saranjit Birdi following his FEED night talk outlining his varied career in architecture, computer animation, community arts and recent performance pieces creating a fusion between drawing and dance.

The students worked in groups to develop ideas for the collaborative live project, BMAPA’s production of “The Little Match Girl” considering points raised in Saranjit’s  talk and solutions to staging problems, for example how to light a match without using a real flame!

43 Visions - One Essence

Below you can find a small selection of pictures from the private view and images of student's work from our National Diploma in General Art & Design, as well as the Foundation Studies in Art & Design. At the end of their courses all 43 students showcased their work during an exhibition, which was held at Matthew Boulton Campus for one week during June 2010.
Many thanks to all students who have worked hard and produced some amazing work, as well as all members of staff who have helped with the build of the show, it looked amazing and the show was a great success.
