BARNSLEY EXHIBITION REVIEWS

BARNSLEY EXHIBITION REVIEWS

 Bike Show 

 Before visiting the bike show gallery I had my doubts on

 how interesting the show is going to be because I am

 not a big fan of sport or any thing a long side that type.

 But however I couldn't be more wrong as the place

 was filled with many different elements which includes

 a combinations of art, music and modern day technology.

I really have to give it up to how the place is set out

 and how inspiring it was for me as it’s given me a visual

 ideas of what my fashion show is going to be like, if

 or when I become a fashion designer.

As I was looking around the room, I’d imaging my self being a model

 walking round the exhibit fiercely (it has to be done),I began to get

 more and more into the show and look at the pieces that has been put

 together closely, how well is made and the detail of each individual bikes it was amazing! so many cool bike that I never though it could be done.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this exhibit to everyone because you never know what you going to find even if you don’t like it you still got to give it a chance because it might be a new discovery or an inspiration that leads you to many different things that you never though of doing in the future.

Town Hall Gallery

Visiting the Town Hall exhibit was a completely different experience

 as it cover more stuff on history of Barnsley which shows how much

 things has changed and shows people ways of living during the days.

 As a former of comprehensive school student, I was very fascinated in studying History, learning about different cultures around the world and what it was like in the past . Even though the lesson wasn't my strongest point because I am not very academic wise, I still appreciate the lesson and all new things that I have learnt from them.

The exhibit includes the way of individual lives, where they lived, and

 what jobs they do. Plus a real life objects of equipment, tools, clothing and many other elements that was used back in the days and for me it was very realistic and interesting as it really shows gives me an image what it was like back then. The most parts that I enjoy about the show was the little corner that I made into a cinema room and the clips that was played shows individual stories of what their lives was like.

I would strongly recommended people of all ages to go and visit. Especially teens as nowadays it is hard for them to get involved in history and learning what it was like before. All of the new technologies involved in the modern day distracts them from the past and makes them forget. If it was not for them doing what they are did in the past, we wouldn't have all these things or an environment like this to live in. The exhibition would also be suitable for families to teach children about local history and make them appreciate as much as others do.

Barnsley university campus degree show

 The experience from the degree shows gives me a view on what I can progress on from art and design course. The show includes lots of unique work by individual student from the start to a finished products. The part that really interested me was their inspiration, how they got started and how they translate an ideas from their minds into reality. I was familiar with the technique and the medias that some of the students have used as I have came across it before, for example using the puff binding, screen printing, hand sewing, 3D making and many more. 

The show really give an inspiration and motivation of what I want to progress on next year which is fashion and clothing design. Overall, I would recommended the show to everyone especially if you are in your first year of college even if it something you might not want to do in the future, but it still might be a good way to explore things that is not in your comfort zone plus you never it could be something new that you never discover before.

Cooper Gallery

In my opinion Cooper gallery has to be one of my top 3 best gallery experiences yet! This is because I found something that truly inspired and made me want to stay there and look at the work all day long. Even though it’s a small exhibition, never underestimate it. The place was filled with lovely people which made me feel very welcome and most importantly to me, it was the place of true art. 

The thing that really captured my eye was the sensational fashion illustration that was hanging on the wall waiting for it to be seen by me and that very moment it was the most powerful thing I have ever seen. I can just sit there and stare at it all day, it sounds exaggerated but it’s true!

As I was looking at the artwork of many different artists a lady in the exhibit came over to me and said “if you want to ask any question feel free to ask”, so I did straight away. I asked about the fashion piece; who it was by and what inspired her. Her name was Shelia Graham.

One of her paintings includes a ballerina dressed in a pink tutu. She told me her inspiration was visiting the royal ballet rehearsal and someone asked her if she would draw something. Using the experience that she had she translated it into a painting and the result was perfect.

Another piece I also liked was one of the works had three small different fabric swatches which really showed how they wanted to represent their work, what the design would look or feel like.

Finally, I would definitely recommend this gallery to everyone as I feel that it would be nice to explore something new and different and if you ever need to be inspired The Cooper galley is the place!
