Unit 11: Preparation for Progression in Art and Design: End of Year Exhibition

I enjoyed the exhibition at the end of the year as it was a way to show off all the hard work that we did from different angles however I did not like the fact that it wasn't fairly set out. Some students got more space to stand up their work than others, for that reason I preferred the catwalk as everyone's garment was shown for an equal amount of time. However, the exhibition was better in the way that our work could be closely studied. People could come and look at our work up close and see all the effort put into our garment's. I also enjoyed the fact that we could write a statement about what our work related to and that meant people understood what the garments were made for and why. Also we got to put up pictures of our photo shoot, this was a benefit for me as my garment had four separate parts and it meant that people could see the individual pieces put together in different ways, it gave some variety to my work compared to them just seeing the garment all put together.

I didn't like the way that my exhibit got moved. I had set it up as shown in the first three pictures and my pictures were hung from the ceiling, shown on both sides. When I went back on the day of the exhibition my mannequin had been moved and the pictures had been stuck to the wall. This meant that the hood of my garment wasn't hanging the way I wanted it to and also you could only see half of my pictures. Therefore people at the exhibition couldn't see all the different ways my garment could be set up.
