A4 exhibition week

So it is finally here the week of prepertation and getting the studio ready to exhibit all of the submitted work. Todays task was a lot harder than expected the curation team which consisted of myself and fellow third year students Becky Elliot and Brad Hodgson had the delightful task of sorting thorough the work a task that was mammoth to say the least. Upon our initial inspection of the work it was apparent that not all of the work was of the standard we had expected and our day was spent separating the work we fell was 'up to scratch' and the work that wasn't, which is not a task that we took lightly. We  decided that we wanted to give everyone who's work we felt needed changing the chance to re-submit and my entire day was spent writing notes to those people on ways they could tweek or change their submissions. My goal was to encourage and help but it felt a much harder task given that all of the re-submissions were fellow students on the same course. We decided to leave each of the re-submission notes along with the work in each of the students pigeion holes with a note to come see a member of the curation team who would then have a one to one conversation with the aim that they could re-submit on wednesday. I left uni today feeling terrible this was not what i had expected
