Setting up the exhibition

Having finished the props me and Dan were anxious to see if the rest of the class would approve. Thankfully they did and everyone seemed impressed with the outcome.

I was present at the printing and laminating of the work on Monday so I knew how the worked looked but was unsure of how it was to be displayed.
On arriving at the exhibition I found that the group had already started looking at ways in which to hang the work. One thing that was for certain was that the work was to be hung from the ceiling of the shop as apposed to being stuck to walls.

An initial idea was to have four pieces of work stuck and hung together. As there is three pieces of work each this design would have left an odd number so it was revised.

The pencils that me and Dan completed were placed as a centre piece in the middle of the exhibition. They were arranged on a pile of screwed up paper.


Me and Martin were assigned to stick sheets of plain paper to this wall, as well as paper containing letters which combined spell out words related to our course. We have decided to allow this area of blank pages to any children who visit the exhibit. We will have a sign inviting people to have a go at drawing or designing and idea themselves.


The revised system for hanging the work now uses three boards rather than four. The work is hung from the ceiling using a strong fishing wire.


The image below shows Sav and Kiel hanging the pieces of work.


This how how the boards look after hanging. Descriptions of the work will be hung below each piece of work. The boards are placed according to light sources throughout the unit.


The image below shows the production of the 'Idea Board'. This is a wall of white paper covered with concepts drawings relating to the work on display. Dan and Ryan contributed most of the sketches although pretty much everyone who attended drew something on the wall.

The image below shows Dan and Ryan completing a painted banner that will be displayed in the window of the unit. This is just a simple collection of pages with single letters painted on each page. It continues the theme of the text within the exhibition.

The picture below shows the sofa which Teresa acquired from a second hand shop. This is for the visitors if they feel the need to sit down. It appears that Dan is a big fan of the sofa.
