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. I expected this course would 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 had the project 1 to researching about art exhibition in British museum and Victoria and Albert museum. Everyone had 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 was Courting to contract exhibition on the first floor at British museum. This exhibition tell story of love and marriage in Iran in the past. They shown many papers of marriage contract of love couples in Iran in different pattern. Some shown an animal painting with colourful colours and decorating with gold paper they also use line for creating the movement in their marriage contract as well. Some did a marriage contract in a simple way they just wrote down some words and drew a little symbols on a paper. I was recording the information 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. This room show the special brushes for porcelain paining and took a note “Please Touch” near their brushes. Moreover, 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.
I moved to Victoria and Albert museum to see the third exhibition by tube and have a break around one hour. The first time I chose the ceramic exhibition but unfortunately they were closed. However, I also interested with fashion as well so I chose the fashion exhibition instead.
This exhibition has a lot of information about evolution of fashion in different year. Its not just tell the clothes story but they also tell about life style in different century.
The last exhibition was Theatre and Performance. I was surprisingly in this exhibition. All of stuffs in this floor was amazing. I saw so many things creating for theatre, television and movie. There were a variety of products for promoting in the next room. There put a lot of posters and figure on the wall everything seem messy but on the other hand, I thought it all perfectly.
