Student Artwork on Display
Creative students at Forth Valley College put their art and soul into producing work which was exhibited this week at the Creative Industries Department’s annual Degree and Diploma Exhibition.
More than 60 students had art, design, sculpture, installation and video work on show at the exhibition which ran from Thursday June 2nd to Tuesday June 7th in the college’s Middlefield Building, Falkirk.
Once again a very high standard of work was on display at the event where exhibiting groups included: BA Art and Design, HND Contemporary Art Practice, HND Visual Communication, HND Art and Design and some representation from community and evening classes. Contributions were also welcomed by students from Access to Creative Industries, NC Media and HNC Media and Communications
Cathy Snedden, FVC’s Head of Creative Industries, said: “The work on display is exciting, challenging and of a very high standard.
“This end of year event takes a lot of effort and hard work, and the teamwork between the staff and students has been fantastic. The success of the exhibition reflects the enthusiasm and commitment of everyone involved.”
Paul McDonald (30) from Doune – who has just completed an HND in Visual Communication – said: “I exhibited the best pieces from the culmination of a full year’s work and I am happy and proud of them all. My artwork was also used for the exhibition’s promotional material which I am really delighted with and the feedback from visitors has been very positive. It has been a great experience to be involved in as the overall standard has been high.
“I am now working part-time with Red Yacht Creative based in Stirling and I hope to become a graphic designer, though I do turn my hand to painting as well.”
Forth Valley College is grateful to partners for their support of the work of the Creative Industries department, including local Councils in Clackmannan, Falkirk and Stirling, schools, the Helix, the Park Gallery, the Changing Room Gallery, Stirling University, the Tolbooth and the macrobert, as well as numerous local employers, who help the Department to deliver exciting and relevant creative education and training.
