Making the student's exhibition day

OH, wow, what a day it was yesterday!!!I was hanging the student's drawings on the walls of our Faculty, the place where I work, about what I wrote something here .

So, I was working with my students in preparing the year exhibition. As we just finished with our year, we had to show what we were working on and how the students "understood" all the talking and showing and teaching through the year.







I'm not sure if you can see anything from the small pics shown here, but I must tell you that I was pretty pleased. We have some great drawings and many of them got 10, which is the biggest mark.







I'm also very happy to know that I'm officially on vacation and will have some more time to dedicate to my family and my sewing projects;).

Drawing at the department of costume design

Visiting the actual exhibition of students from the Faculty where I took my Degree;).....

The works of the Costume Department students from the first to the fifth year of studies presented in this exhibition were chosen with an intention to perceive the importance of drawing as an original of all other art disciplines, mediums, in the process of maturing in revealing the visual understanding of the world.
Cultivating drawing at the costume Departement is necessary within not only the Drawingand Painting major at the first two years of studies, but also the higher years of studies for the Dress Basics, Contemporary dressing and Scene Costume majors.
The aesthetics and significance of drawing at the Department has been changing according to the needs of time and sensibility of the students. At the beginning, drawing in the majors was only a utility serving the major subject, a form of stylization subjected to the strongaesthetic requests of the time and actual trends with a limited stepping out into the individual.

In the late ninties, especially during the previous several years, drawing for the Costume students had a special ascension in discovering the sensitive gradations and layers of deeper acceptance of the drawing and attempts to make it grow into a strong, independent, even central mean of determiningpersonal expression.











Paradoxically, in the period when classical drawing lost its media distinctivness in modern art, suppressed as anachronistic, forced away by new media, and when it was least in the focus of represenation and seriousconsideration in our environment, a generation of students emerged which, giving away to an undoubtedly strong emanation of individuality, uses the drawing to express the endless paths of creative imagination, analytical ability, dreams and anticipation, in searching of their own opinion, view and authentic language.
