I wrote this review out a couple of weeks ago, but didn't upload it because I didn't have pictures to go with it. After some confusion with the pictures and getting some stuff out of the way I have decided to upload it (without the pictures.)
THE TMAC ART SHOW 2009
The tmac art show 09 featured artwork from A level and GCSE turton students, including textiles, 3D studies, graphic design and photography. The class went along to see what we made of the work we could be producing in a year or two's time, and personally, I was impressed by all of it, and left the exhibiton inspired.
As soon as we walked into the room we met a screen filled with a range of colourful, arty pictures, and then some paintings. Once passed that screen, lots of different styles of art sprang up. I had a short walk round the room looking at the range; it was too much to take in at once, so I re-walked it slowly, looking closely at the works that interested me.
The first thing that took my eye was an interesting and original set of pieces where some photos had been taken, and then overlayed on them were cartoony versions of the original photos, for example one showing some baked beans came to life.
A screen that interested me was one which was filled with textiles collages, lots of things the artists were into (at that time) applied to a background. I could have looked at them for a while because they were filled with lots of different ideas but I had to move on. It suprised me how much I liked them because I have not been interested in textiles much.
There were so many good pieces of work and I left the exhibition wanting to get a camera and do some photography and image editing, inspired by a number of sets of photos and peices of work.
The exhibition was enjoyable to look round and well organised, every where you turned there was something else to look at. I enjoyed looking round a lot and am inspired, but slightly worried what I might produce, comparing my work at the moment to the artwork in here.
A good visit!
