Art & Design Graduand Show 2009

The creative works of over 250 final year Design and Fine Arts undergraduate and honours students from Monash University's Faculty of Art and Design will feature in the annual Graduand Student Exhibition, which will be officially launched on Friday 20th November, 2009.

The of work showcased in this years exhibition derives from the disciplines of interior architecture (interior design); industrial design (product design); visual communication (graphic design); multimedia and digital arts, sculpture, metals and jewellery, painting, photomedia, printmedia and glass.

As you walk about this amazing exhibition/show you suddenly realize that you are surrounded by art, the Faculty of art & design was done in such a way that every where you looked there was art, it was quite clever. However finding your way around was “interesting” to say the least! However the quality of the work was of a high standard.

The art piece that I found particularly interesting was a work done by “Amber Harris” called “E+mc2”. Impressed by the vibrant colour, how it was situated on the wall, and how it communicated the idea (how interpreted anyway) that although every action has
a reaction and most things can be explained there is almost always something in every subject/theory/question (almost like the ever ongoing debate about creation vs evolution) that can not be explained and understood – I see this through the design in which amber has laid out most of the colour paper squares in a geometric which starts as an arbitrary layout as it has come out of the bin, however whist this organization is going on you see to the right, a straight pink line of the same subject matter witch continues from the bin all the way round the wall continuing in a straight line from bin to finish .

Whist the art and shot movie stuff was very well done, the multimedia and visual communication (uni talk for graphic design) was a bit lack luster – the MM didn’t have the wow factor and the Graphic design was a bit average, I would have liked to see more typography as the advertising alluded too.

All in all I found it too be a good exhibition to good too, well done Monash
Pretty good for a uni lol
