I was invited with Edwina Cooper, the Mayoress, to attend the Creative Arts Festival at Newbury College on Thursday 24 May. This was to view the work of 1st and 2nd year students who were on a 2 year B Tech diploma course.
We were accompanied throughout the evening by one of the first year students who was able to describe each item of art in respect of types of paint, the materials used and in respect of photographic pieces, how it was created and how the finished product was mounted. We were also able to meet some of the students who were able to describe in detail their exhibits. There must have been 30 or more items on show on the ground floor, and they all were very interesting and imaginative. The colours of some were quite striking.
There were many more exhibits upstairs and in addition, there were complete rooms given over to particular themes. Some were a combination of coloured materials supplemented by water features while others were more sensory in their presentation. It was a fascinating evening and we were almost the last visitors to leave. I sent a letter of thanks to the student who was kind enough to show us around.
