Yellow Week - January 2013

Extended Diploma Mid Year Show The Works Gallery

Here are images from the Extended Diploma first ever Mid year show which took place at the Works Gallery In Birmingham city centre. This allowed all the second year art and design students to iniate themselves into the professional world of artists and designers and  exhibit their work within a renowed gallery outwith their college enviroment.

 The work on dislplay was generated within the students chosen specialisms. The work ranged from Graphics, 3D, Fine art, textiles, Fashion and photography. The exhibition was well recieved and all that attended the private view were entertained with music, food and drink.

 The mid year show is going to be a feature of the Extended Diplom annual calender. It offers the students invaluable experience in setting up a show and really helps with  their thoughts and ideas for the Final Major Project in Mid June.

Level 2 Art and Design Yellow Week - Chocolate Packaging

BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design students designed chocolates based on the theme of emotions. They then created their designs from clay which were then vacuum formed to create a mould for the melted chocolate to set in. They then designed packaging for their chocolates again using the theme of emotions.
