Aquatopia
run by: Amy Reed, Georgina James, Emma Watson, Hollie Bourne
Aquatopia based on the exhibition aquatopia. As the exhibition was created from artwork that was influenced by the sea the workshop was also created around the concept of the group creating a sea based piece. Split into two groups we were giving a tables worth of materials to allow us to created a piece that either made use of materials taken from the sea or to represent the sea. My group went with the idea of using the broken glass bottles to make a ship. At the beginning a seemingly difficult task, but was easily achievable. In regards to the way the workshop was run I feel that it was organised perfectly, there was plenty of information supplied to allow us fully grasp what we would both be doing in the workshop and what the exhibition itself was about. Also with having a real copy of the exhibitions leaflet we were able to get a real insight from those who set up the exhibition and more in depth view of the reasoning behind it.
Making faces
Run by Lisa Davidson, Katie Upton
Making faces was a brilliant workshop to participate in as it was very well organised and on the material side of things we had more than we would ever need. The concept of the exhibition was well planned out in a personal opinion, we were given a small talk at the beginning of the workshop to understand the exhibition we would be looking at, thankfully all of us had seen the exhibition as we all went to see it as part of our cura module. The workshop itself was very well thought out, and sorted into an organised fashion of description, work, review. The making process was particularly fun as it was quite a messy project, and with plenty of materials we were almost spoilt for choice, but in a way there could have been a wider range as i found it hard to select pieces that suited me. An interesting event that happened with the masks is that everyone seemingly created a mask that represented their own practice, mine for example was simple and minimalist which matches my style perfectly. overall a very organised workshop that would fit being the real workshop for the exhibition.

This exhibition was a lot of fun to take part in, and I feel that it represented the artist perfectly, through a process of using magazines and books of a random nature we were asked to create pieces that were similar to the style of the artist. Hoch’s work is known for its ways of critiquing mass culture through its collaged state. In honesty i joined into the workshop late and missed the beginning talk and thus didn't really create a piece that linked to Hoch’s work. Others in the group however produced pieces that wouldn't look out of place next to Hock’s work. The workshop was supplied with plenty of materials, which turned out to be Andy’s own materials he uses for his own work.
