Exhibition night.. 14/05/15

Exhibition night was the first and final time that we worked together as a whole group for the educating unit, this has allowed us to flow more big and exiting new ideas out there four our final end of year display at Federation house in Central Manchester.
Throughout the whole unit, we have been divided up into our two seperate groups, we both planned and delivered two completley seperate workshops in Daca, to two different year groups, from this the research was very important, as it was vital that both experiences got presented on the final night.
At Federation house we had a lovely window space to present our work, our space presented us with so much opportunity to put on a spectacular show for our clueless audience.
As both groups had outderwear gear from the workshop day, we decided as a group that they each must be a key feature of the show.
My group had feedback tshirts that our year seven class had written all over telling us exactly what they thought of the day, the back grounds of the white cotton was covered in the after math of our power paint fight. The other group had a number of wild and vibrant looking boiler suits, covered in a wide choice of acrylic colours and collection of differnet mark making tools that they had used through out the whole day. We decided to display both of these by hanging them all up in a rotation pattern in the centre of our space, directly underneeath the centre piece we designed the floor space with paint covered fabric from the other groups workshop, I would personally describe this as 'A rug splashed and drizzled with the beauty of colour.'
To complete our group display on one wall we had photographic evidence from both our workshops including a group photo of us and all the children involved in the day. We had a feedback table with a large roll of material on, where the visitors of the exhibition including everyone who was involved could comment and give there honest and confidential feedback of the unit. This was very interesting to be a part of and very interesting to see what kind of comments there was too, both postive and negative all make up what Unit X is all about in my opinion.
The sign above our show read 'Unit X and why?' My over all experience to this has been a rollercoaster, times ive questioned myself what amI doing? why am I doing this? frustration over one reason or another, meeting up as a group that hasnt gone to plan, peoples opinions that can change a decision in a split second, but seeing my personal confidence grow over the last few weeks and meeting new people that have now become friends have made the whole experience worth while.
