It's been pretty quiet across here, again but the reason for that if you do not know is because I've been prepping for getting my dissertation and honours projects finished and submitted. And also getting things ready for my degree show...

Two years ago you may remember I shared my College End of Year Exhibition in which I shared my stand and wrote a lil bit about the opening night and the details for attending, so it makes sense to do the same for my Uni Degree show too. 

Yesterday myself and Lauren from Uni had another little meet up and decided to visit the DJCAD/Dundee University Masters Degree Show. I originally had heard about the show last week when Aaron had sent me the link for it and I instantly wanted to have a look at it! 

Within the show there was work on display from the MSC Animation & Visualization, MFA Art & Humanities, MFA Art, Society & Publics, MSC Forensic Art and MSC Medical Art courses. I was mostly interested in seeing the MFA displays though as I've been considering maybe doing my Masters after I finish Uni next year or the year after. But in general, I was pretty blown away by all the work on display from the courses and obviously a lot of work went into each project.

If you're in Dundee or around the area up until the 29th of August I would definitely recommend checking it out as you may get some inspiration yourself!

On Tuesday, my friend, Steph and I decided that we would head along to the Gray School of Art Degree Show to have a nosy at all the work on show this year. I particularly wanted to go along as I was hoping that seeing all the different work would maybe help generate ideas for my show next year whether that's my actual work, or how I set up my area or something else entirely! 

But anyway, we had a look round all the different areas of the degree show which includes; Commercial Photography, Communication Design, Contemporary Art Practice, Fashion & Textile Design, Painting and 3D/Product Design. Although I'm a design student and so should find the Communication Design the most interesting, the two areas that took the crown for me was the Painting and Contemporary Art Practice. These two areas were soooo diverse and left me coming away with so many ideas of things I just want to try out for myself! 

Overall, I really loved seeing all the different work on show and for the first Gray's one I have been to I really need to make sure I get to more of them in the future as it was incredible! Also apologies for no info about who the artist/designer was! In the whole scheme of things I got to excited to take notes of people, so if you know one of them let me know.

If you fancy visiting the exhibition yourself it's on till the 27th so there's still a couple days left! 

Next weeks vlog will feature some work that hasn't been shown in this post but in the mean time check out my latest one here.
