UDK Exhibit

Our experience in Berlin was broadened very greatly by our first visits to the University of Art , which is the school our studio is now meeting. The week we arrived was the students' final week of school before summer break. We attended their year end show, which was great. The experience really showed us what they were doing over here and how this related to our studies in the US. There were many things that I was completely mesmerized by, but there were also things that I have also seen in the US. Overall the school showed that their art and architecture programs are very strong and that this would be a great place to study. 
                                                    
Our assignment was to review one exhibit, and the one I chose was one that I saw in the beginning of the time we spent there. It was a piece of work that formed a picture out of three canvases and the medium that was used was either thread or a type of yarn. This really gave a great affect when looked at closely. From far away it looked like a painting or a print, but at a closer look you really see the amount of time and detail put into this artwork. The skills this student possessed and showed in their art was very impressive.
