University Visit

Today I went to a university to have a look around at various pieces of art from illustration, 3D, fine art and many more. The university was in Loughborough, I really liked the way they set out the artists work and that each artist had a decent amount of space for their work. Some pieces of work that I saw really inspired me and makes me want to test out what they have done, one of the artists would be Luke Routledge. I love the way he created his pieces of work and the way they look unique and never before seen. Here is a couple of pictures I took of his sculptures-

Another artist which I really liked the work of was called Serene Nuseibeh, I loved the way she worked on Perspex surfaces to create her abstract mark making. Also I really liked how she layered acrylic paint up creating various different colours and very abstract shapes. Because it was on a shiny substance it made the colours look much more vibrant and much more processional. Below are just some images I took of my favourite pieces which she had done.-

Their was many many more artists I liked from Sara Sammakia, Martin Clarkson and one of my favourites was Rosie Woods.

On my visit it made me realise how much I do actually want to go in to further education after college has ended. It has also made me want to look in to what courses university have to offer and see all the different types of courses and routes I can take to become successful. All of the students that was around the University also seemed very friendly and once when we was lost we asked and they showed us which way to go which I thought was really polite. Overall it was a good experience looking at many different artists work and to see what sort of stuff the students do in university. It gave me a good impression to what the course will be like when I start one. It has also made me less nervous about starting and meeting lots of new people.
