Many places in UK are so interesting for people around the world especially places about art and design. Fortunately, I decided to study Design, Innovation and Brand Management in master degree at The University for the creative art (UCA) in this country for a year. I started study here with the pre-sessional English course for ten weeks. This course helps me to learning a new thing that I did not know before.
On Friday 24th June 2016, I went to London with my classmate. We have the project one to researching about art exhibition in British museum and Victoria and Albert museum. Everyone needs to choose four exhibitions from two museums that depend on your interested. Most of students chosen an exhibition by surfing the internet through museum website. There has much more information for preparing ourself to go the museums such as date and time of exhibition, describe the main idea of exhibition, cost for visiting (free or need to pay money), room number of exhibition and so on.
The first exhibition I chose is Courting to contract exhibition on the first floor at British museum. This exhibition talk about love and marriage in Iran in the past. They shown many papers of marriage contract of love couples in Iran in different pattern. Some, painted an animal with colourful colours and decorated with gold paper also they use line for creating the movement in their marriage contract as well but, some did a marriage contract in a very simple way they just wrote down some words and drew a little symbols on a paper. I was recording the infirmation by sketching some picture on my sketch book and took a photo for reference. Some a part of exhibition show a water colour painting in the moment of Iran women when she receives the letter from the man. Also, shows the coatdress of Iran women as well. I so surprised with their pattern design because some pattern looks similar as the pattern in the north of Thailand.
The second exhibition I have chosen talk about ceramic art in Japan. The name of this exhibition is Made in Japan by Kakiemon family. They were made the Japanese porcelain four hundred years through fifteen generations. They made Japanese porcelain with individual style. They always used the pastel for base colour such as light-blue, light-yellow, orange. These colours make their products feels smooth, soft and also can identify Japanese culture as well.
