EccentricK

Eccentrick was AMAZING! The was it was set up, and the art work was outstanding. The fact that all the creative, beautiful, and unique art work was created by Mary Ward students made it even more incredible!


This was my second time comming to the Mary Ward Art Show, but the first time of me actually working around the basement, so I honestly did not know what to expect. It was pretty hectic the week before the Art Show because everything needed to be set up properly in order to have beautiful displays. Everywhere I turned whenever I went down to the basement were; students painting big boards, on the computer, or moving objects into to storage rooms or to the end of the hall.


The art courses I took this year was Media Art and Tech Design (architecture), and therefore I was fortunatly part of the whole set-up of 'EccentricK'. It was interesting to see the process of creating the Art Show since it was such a big deal. Although the creation process of the Art Show was hectic and very busy, the final product was definitley perfect.


The art work in the whole production was simply amazing! It was obvious that hard work was put into each piece. I thought the dresses were beautiful and original, making them one of a kind. The large portraits of celebrities which were drawn by some students really amazed because they were so accurate. Their portraits looked exactly like the pictures, it was incredible!


There were many pieces of art that I really liked. One of them was a particular dress that was created by one of the students. It was displayed alongside with a book she had created with i believe, her own drawings. I really enjoyed the hip-hop section of the art show because it showed diversity in art, and it showed different aspects and forms of arts. The fact that it was another form of art really interested me. I also liked how they got the audience involved and also performed for them.

This art show was amazing, and I cannot wait for the next one!
