Manchester UCAS Event

On the 25th Nov, we went to a UCAS event held at Manchester called 'Design Your Future', in which a large hall held dozens of stalls from universities advertising a huge range of their degree courses from fashion to graphics, auto vehicle design to fine art . For me, many graphics and games design courses caught my eye, however it was a great time for me to look at other creative paths for me to possibly take instead of my current direction and degree ideas. I found modelling, special effects and animation quite appealing candidates when thinking of degree's to enrol in and will particularly keep my eyes out for these courses in future open days, and will highly likely at least bookmark some of the courses via UCAS. After the UCAS event we walked to a Museum that didn't hold much Art that appealed to me as much of it was historical, however there was an exhibition that caught my eye which was 'The First Cut' exhibition. This exhibition was full of amazing pieces all of which were achieved through cutting with a scalpel, paper mâché, folding and aligning. This made me reflecting on my recent introduction to the media of clay and how it was the first time I'd ever worked within a 3D space, but this exhibition truly shows that 3 dimensions are still achievable with mere paper also.
Soon after we went to another museum which sadly held very little pieces I was interested and the coach journey home soon followed.
