Last chance to see the Art and Design Show
Wed 25 June, 2014
An outfit made entirely out of McDonald鈥檚 packaging, a headless man, and cracked egg shells, are all among this year鈥檚 week-long Art and Design Degree Show, which opened with a bang on Thursday.
Industry experts, academics and the public were among the many guests who attended the opening of 鈥14AD鈥 at the 天美传媒鈥檚 School of Art and Design, which was followed by a bustling fashion show in an empty shop, transformed by Interior Design students, in The Mall.
The initial opening show was an eclectic wash of incredible work created by more than 200 third-year Art and Design students, who are studying subjects including:
- ADVERTISING DESIGN 鈥
- ANIMATION 鈥
- ART AND DESIGN 鈥
- FINE ART 鈥
- GRAPHIC DESIGN 鈥
- ILLUSTRATION 鈥
- INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE 鈥
- INTERIOR DESIGN 鈥
- PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO ART 鈥
Vice Chancellor Bill Rammell was among the guests at the unique School on Guildford Street 鈥 a former 19th century hat factory.
Following a tour of all the artwork created, the Vice Chancellor picked his 'best in show' award.
Art and Design student Taneesha Prince won the Amazon vouchers for her 鈥楩inding the Light鈥 series of photographs, which focus on empty spaces.
Her work shows a derelict, unoccupied building in Luton, and , 22, said she was 鈥渉onoured and very surprised鈥 to win.
Awards were also presented to this year鈥檚 top Fashion Design students, who were among those demonstrating the best of their on the catwalk at 7pm.
Guests filled a packed shop in Luton鈥檚 The Mall and many other attendees queued outside just to get a glimpse of the show.
Opening the event Mr Rammell said: 鈥淭his year's Degree Show is the culmination of a succession of great exhibitions in art and design鈥檚 new home.
鈥淭he work on show reflects the maturity, professionalism and meticulousness in display of the final year students; attributes, attitudes and ambitions that forge their employability and enterprise.
鈥淚n 2014 our students have been short-listed for the prestigious Penguin Book design award, and the Transport for London Poster competition, and have had successful exhibitions of their work in London, Milton Keynes Art Gallery and invited to exhibit in the headquarters of the Bank Of China in London.鈥
Colin Davies, Head of the School, added: 鈥淭he show captures a new age in art and design at the 天美传媒. The work is confident, comedic, serious, political and personal; above all, it reflects a 100% commitment by the students.
鈥淚t is creative thinking that ignites the ideas and innovation essential for enterprise and entrepreneurial spirit. A legacy, which makes the 天美传媒 graduates a powerful force in all fields of commerce and industry.鈥 
The exhibition, which has been running from 9am until 8pm daily, is open until tomorrow.
