Rachael Spall is an illustrator specialising in character design, and has just completed the BA (Hons) Graphic Design degree course. As one of the new exhibitors that will feature at Collegiate learning centre later this semester, we asked her to tell us a little about her work.
“These illustrations are from a children’s picture book entitled ‘Lack of a Hat’ that I produced during my final year at 
university.
I often start out with a narrative and use illustration to tell these stories through character development.
These characters are essentially puppets and I make them in 3d using various materials. I then photograph the puppets and add more detail digitally, often going on to bring them to life through simple stop motion animations.”
If you didn’t already have a reason to love our student artwork, just look at some of Rachael’s images below. Who wouldn’t appreciate a giraffe to look at while studying in the learning centre?
We’re proud to be able to show highlights from each of the art in the learning centres exhibitions so far – take a look at the blog pages to see some of the student artwork on display in the Adsetts Centre and photos from the launch event from each year.
Let us know what you think – and come and take a look around the learning centre to see your favourites!
This year is always an exciting time for staff and students, in anticipation of the latest Creative Spark exhibition which launches later this week.
This is the eighth year of the show that displays our creative final year students’ work for their families, friends and the general public at a range of locations across the campus.
Creative Spark takes you on a journey, capturing the moment when a creative spark hits, following it through to its execution.
The Adsetts learning centre is proud to feature some of the talented student productions from the last three Creative Spark exhibitions – from disciplines including fine art, furniture, photography, and this year extending across different faculty courses such as science, sport and health as part of the expansion to Collegiate.
We’ll be bringing highlights and topics of interest in the coming weeks – but in the meantime anyone can visit the Creative Spark 2013 exhibition when it launches on 8th June.
