Yesterday I went to have a look at the Degree Shows at DMU. It was laid out differently this year, which made it feel very messy. Student work seemed a bit sparse too. Fine Art was the biggest by far and had some very strong paintings. I wasn't keen on the sculpture, I've seen better. Design Crafts was ok - I'm so glad I didn't do that now, it all seems a bit superficial. Oh how quickly we are converted to the Fine Art view point. It's a little like the work I'm doing during the holidays; pretty, mindless stuff. It's just not me, and it shows in the work. But it fills the time without having to think too much!
Anyway, back to the show. Textiles was poor - it always is. Contour was sparse. Footwear was same as ever. And I just don't get Fashion....
I have taken pics of some of my favourite Fine Art pieces - I noticed that lots of the paintings had sold, always a bonus.
