End of year show Art & Design Student Show Catalogue June 2020 Cover photo credit Photographer: Catherine Hyde Fashon designer: Ellen Kinder Katy Quinn Principal, Strode College Welcome to Strode College’s End of Year Show 2020 Strode has held an end of year Art Show for several decades and the staff and students were determined to not let Covid-19 stand in the way of this well- established tradition. So the 2020 End of Year Show marks another innovative and creative approach through an E-book, building on the more traditional, historical venues such as Crispin Hall and Moorlands Factory. Typically, I’d be welcoming you in person to our End of Year Show, an annual event that is pivotal in the Art and Design calendar. But this year I am welcoming you virtually and am delighted that we can still showcase the amazing artwork that is tes- tament to the efforts and skills of students and staff from Creative Arts and Design. Quite clearly, this year we needed to reconsider how to celebrate and share the work undertaken in the visual arts; hopefully you will enjoy the work that is presented in this book and even recognise some of our artists and their work. It is pleasing to see that range of disciplines have been explored and are well represented by the students in Art and Design. I hope you enjoy the references in props and set design to ‘The Little Shop of Horrors’ which was a joint venture between our visual and performing arts team. We now need to find a suitable space in the college to showcase “Audrey!” Other positive collaborations include the live shoe design brief undertaken with Clarks design and innovation team, which provides our students with a wonderful insight into corporate design. In an era of resourcefulness our students have found ways to use their artistic ability to support others. By example, Amy Anderson and Phoebe Cutler of UAL L3 Extended Diploma in Art & Design has been generating digital portraits for a nominal fee of £3 with all proceeds being donated to the National Bailout collective. Progression from Strode remains very strong, with students accepted atprestigious HE institutions including Central St Martins, London MET University, Chelsea UAL London, Falmouth University, AUB Bournemouth and UWE Bristol . All in all, it has been an incredibly busy and positive year and while I am delighted to share this book with you, I hope that next year we will all be able to meet face to face and resume our more traditional experiences which celebrates this wonderful talent at the End of Year exhibition 2021. Petrina Rochester Head of Faculty for Arts and Science While the advent of the pandemic has impacted on one of the most exciting points in the art department’s calendar. It is clear from the evidence in this book and the wonderful images of the events that taken place over the academic year, the art department has enjoyed a terrifically active and vibrant year. As artists we value the opportunity to view others work and study the role of visual language in the world around us, this is clear the ample educational visits and guest speakers have been able to incorporate this year. Such inspirational sources include visits to the Tim Walker and Mary Quant exhibitions at the V&A, RAMM in Exeter, Warner Bros studio, Lacock Abbey, Leica Gallery, Alexander McQueen headquar- ters, Textiles Red Cross Project, Lucien Freud exhibition at the RA, and for our international visit, a wonderful residential in New York. Our students have worked with Rose Hubbard’s creative photography workshop, and with Chris Donoghue, Architect partner in award winning architects practice Wootton Donoghue. Our col- laborative projects can be seen in the prop and set making for Strode College’s production of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ and the Zombie workshop with students from the hair and beauty curriculum. Our themes as an Art department often reflect current affairs, it is no surprise that this year has had a greater focus upon sustainability and reducing plastic in society. The year launched with a brief titled ‘Fabrication’ and work with guest speaker and artist Fiona Campbell, who held an exhibition at Shepton Mallet Prison as part of the B-wing group. In addition, our students participated in a local litter pick with a view to both conserving the local landscape and obtaining materials to refashion into artistic works. Finally, it is with great pride that I’d like to acknowledge the efforts made by the students and staff before, during and after lockdown. The success of the progres- sion that students have made in their study and forwards, to wonderful opportunities to study Architecture, Graphics, Fashion, Photography at degree level and of course many other creative routes is a testament to the community that exists in the team and one that I hope they take forward in their respective creative paths. I hope you enjoy the academic year presented in this book and join us in 2021 for our End of Year Show.
